Although an average of 83,529 daily vehicle trips were taken at UCLA in 2024, Bruins are commuting sustainably in significant numbers, riding the bus and behind the wheel of electric vehicles. These observations and more are covered in State of the Commute 2024, UCLA Transportation’s report documenting the travel patterns of the university community during the academic year.
Automobile commutes into Westwood have declined compared to previous years, which is noteworthy given that the university population has grown by almost 10,000 over the last five years. The percentage of vehicle trips taken by employees and students is currently at its lowest in campus history.
