<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>On September 1, 2021</b>, we will kick-off the newly branded “R’Commute” Program for the 2021/2022 fiscal year. The program is designed to motivate employees to use sustainable methods of transportation (including working remotely)
rather than driving to campus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>All current Alternative Transportation participants along with anyone that applied to the Alternative Transportation program prior to September 1, 2021, will need to re-apply to the new
</b><a href="https://parkingapps.ucr.edu/at/index.php"><b>R’Commute program</b></a><b> beginning September 1, 2021 in order to receive incentives.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Details of the R’Commute Program are described below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) We will continue to offer the program to all faculty and staff with a minimum of a 50% appointment and to full-time grad students. To qualify for the program you may not purchase a monthly, quarterly or annual parking permit and instead
use an alternative mode of transportation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Eligibility excludes those that live on campus owned property as the program is intended for those that commute to campus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) Qualifying modes of alternative transportation include walking, bicycling, carpool, vanpool, taking transit and telework (working remotely). Telework was added to accommodate those with hybrid work schedules. Being dropped off on campus
no longer qualifies as an approved mode. Eligibility of incentives is subject to verification and each mode has its own requirements as noted below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><a href="https://transportation.ucr.edu/carpool">Carpool</a> – A carpool must be approved prior to permit purchase. Qualified carpools must consist of 2+ participants (faculty/staff member
or grad students only) that carpool at least three days per week for more than 50% of their commute. Carpool permits are discounted and the cost is split between the participants.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><a href="https://transportation.ucr.edu/vanpool">Vanpool</a> – Must enroll with Commute with Enterprise and submit a signed Payment Authorization form prior to being approved. Vanpool groups
may qualify for a $400 monthly county incentive on top of a $125 monthly incentive offered through Transportation Services.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><a href="https://transportation.ucr.edu/bike-walk/bike-walk-program">Active Transportation</a> – Must reside within walking/cycling distance from campus. Registered walkers and bicyclists
are able to use the day-use locker and shower facilities at the SRC. Bicyclists must first register their bike with Transportation Services prior to being approved.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><a href="https://transportation.ucr.edu/telework">Telework</a> – Must telework at least twice per week and submit a signed
<a href="https://hr.ucr.edu/document/work-life-form-mandatory-remote-work-agreement">
Remote Work Agreement</a> prior to being approved.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><a href="https://transportation.ucr.edu/metrolink">Transit</a> – Free RTA bus passes are provided to registered riders. Proof of ridership of at least three days from the transit provider’s
records is required prior to being approved.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) All approved applicants will additionally receive the following R’Commute incentives:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:.75in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4">
<b>One 10-pack of parking permits will be allocated each quarter to all approved participants</b>. Permits can be redeemed online and reserved up to three days in advance. Available parking lots will vary daily based on demand and are only offered in select
blue lots. Permits expire at the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2022). There will be no permit rollovers for the next fiscal year.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:.75in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4">
<b>Eligibility for the Guaranteed Ride Home Program</b>. Participants will be reimbursed for a Lyft/Uber ride home in case of an emergency. Usage is allowed up to two times per fiscal year and is provided through a county sponsored program.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">5) Participants may only change their mode of transportation one time per fiscal year unless they are switching to a carpool or vanpool.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We appreciate those using alternative modes of transportation as it supports UCR’s sustainability efforts as well as to help reduce campus and community congestion. Further details on the program can be found online at
<a href="https://parkingapps.ucr.edu/at/index.php">transportation.ucr.edu</a>. For questions, please call (951) 827-8277 or email
