For many, the thought of commuting daily to UC Davis from the Bay Area may seem, well, crazy. Meet the Poolbusters, an El Cerrito-based vanpool that was established in 1985, where for passengers getting to and from UC Davis is a community effort, and just part of their workday.
Vanpools are a group of 5-10 people who commute together to campus in a leased passenger van. Vanpools are becoming more popular for students, staff, and faculty that live further from campus and are looking for low-cost rideshare.
If you are willing to try vanpooling as your primary commute, we encourage you to connect with a coordinator in your area.
