[Tapscustomers] R’Commute Program – Rules, Guidelines & Helpful Resources

[UCR Parking]

As we begin the new fiscal year, we’d like to take a moment to remind all
participants of the R’Commute Rules & Guidelines—please see the attached
document for full details.



The R’Commute program is designed to encourage commuters to choose
alternative transportation instead of driving alone to campus, helping
reduce parking demand and promote sustainability. Each fiscal year,
participants receive the free 10-pack permit subsidy for one primary mode
of alternative transportation, based on the method they use most often.



Please note:

If you choose to withdraw from the program to purchase a regular parking
permit, you will no longer be eligible for R’Commute benefits until the
next fiscal year.  Additionally, participants may only change their
selected mode of alternative transportation once per fiscal year.



*Additional Benefits for Inland Empire Residents:*

IE Commuter Incentive: New R’Commute members who live in the Inland Empire
may qualify for $5/day subsidy for the first three months of using
alternative transportation, thanks to the county-sponsored IE Commuter
program

(Funded by tax dollars, so only Inland Empire residents are eligible.)



Emergency Ride Home Program: If you commute via alternative transportation
and experience an emergency or illness, you may be eligible for
reimbursement for a Lyft or Uber ride home (up to twice per year). To use
this benefit, simply complete the IE Commuter Reimbursement Claim Form and
email it to alttransportation at ucr.edu for verification.
