"The TIC will not only make alternative transportation more visible on UNM's campus, but will provide information necessary to make alternative transportation more accessible."
-- Cynthia Martin, PATS' Program Planning Manager
Many students, staff, and faculty know about the ABQRide Free Bus Pass Program or have heard of the Zipcar car-sharing program or the benefits of bicycling, but have never tried these modes of transportation before or thought about how multiple modes of transportation can provide convenient and cost-effective alternatives to driving a vehicle. The TIC will be a place to reduce user hesitation by providing comprehensive information about how the programs and services work.
At the TIC students, staff, and faculty can expect to:
*Get their ABQRide Free Bus Pass Sticker
*Receive one-on-one trip-planning guidance. From your start point to your destination, staff at the TIC will be there to work with you to get you the information you need to get to and from your destination (bus routes, times, NM Railrunner connections, car-sharing info, etc...).
*Show you how to take advantage of trip-planning tools available to you 24/7 from an internet connection.
*Sign-up for the City of Albuquerque's Guaranteed Ride Home, a free service for alternative transportation commuters that provides a ride if you miss your bus or have an emergency.
*Get information on the other alternative transportation programs available to the UNM community (bicycle lockers, bicycle registration, discount bicycle maintenance for the UNM community, carpooling, the Zipcar car-sharing program, and more).
