Taking the bus rather than driving has the potential to save money while decreasing CO2 emissions! The university provides discounted bus passes which can be used on over a dozen Los Angeles public buses and rails. Combining this mode of transit with the Metro Micro $1 Shuttle (limited area), or free Toro Shuttle (Harbor Gateway Transit & Artesia Train Station only) can help make this mode of transportation even more convenient and cost-effective.
