All transit agencies in Southern California are following CDC guidance on sanitizing, ventilation and passenger density. There have been no known clusters of COVID-19 virus transmission on bus or rail systems in the United States. Public transit is encouraged; it continues to offer a stress-free way to get to campus and even allows you to catch up on email, watch your favorite shows or scroll through social media. UCLA offers convenient and subsidized transit passes to employees and students.
Employees can now form vanpools with the help of multiple companies that offer a choice of vehicle sizes. Lease arrangements are set up directly between the companies and participants at prices that are discounted by LA Metro. UCLA continues to offer parking discounts for vanpool and carpool users.

All employee parking permits are now sold exclusively via Bruin ePermit, which can be accessed on your mobile device or computer. For those working a hybrid FlexWork schedule, daily discounted parking is an excellent option if you come to campus fewer than 15 times a month. Since campus parking demand may differ from before the pandemic, UCLA Transportation can't guarantee that all parking lot and structure requests will be approved.

Any employee or student using a university vehicle on official business is required to wear a face mask and keep windows down (if possible) when traveling with others. Protocols for sanitizing high-touch surfaces both before and after use are also in place, as are occupancy limits to support physical distancing.
Travel is allowed for fully vaccinated persons. For individuals who are unvaccinated, travel is discouraged and only essential travel is permitted. Employees must wear masks when on planes, trains, buses and other forms of public transportation. Individuals who are not vaccinated must follow LACDPH travel guidelines, including being tested for COVID-19 before and after travel and quarantining after returning from out of state travel.
