UCLA’s latest State of the Commute report cites three major developments from the past year that are creating a brighter future for Bruins.
Those developments — a significant increase in the usage of electric vehicle usage, the expansion of student housing and the resulting decrease in student commuters, and the ongoing positive effects of hybrid work schedules for many employees — are not only contributing to sustainability goals but also helping support better work-life balance for much of the campus community.
The State of the Commute report, published annually by UCLA Transportation, reviews efforts to provide the best access and mobility options for UCLA’s 85,000 students, staff and faculty. While the two previous reports, covering 2020 and 2021, focused on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the report focused on 2022 is more forward-thinking and delves deeper into sustainable transportation.
