There are many ways that faculty, staff, and students of the North Valley Campus can do their part to improve Arizona’s air quality while reducing traffic congestion.

Share The Ride

Valley Metro provides a ride matching system for commuters to find others who are interested in sharing  a ride to work!
Register for this FREE service by logging into: https://www.sharetheride.com/public/Home.aspx

Emergency Ride Home
In case of emergency, this program allows alternative mode users (bike, walk, bus, carpool, vanpool) to be reimbursed for a taxi ride home.  The user may not possess a parking permit nor exceed $40 for a taxi ride home.  The user would be responsible to pay any dollar amount above the $40 maximum directly to the taxi driver using either cash or credit card.  Fill out the Alternative Mode User form and submit to NorthValleyFAC@nau.edu to participate in the Guaranteed Ride Home program.

Public Transportation
Valley Metro also provides safe and reliable bus and light rail systems throughout metro Phoenix.  Transit riders can use Valley Metro’s custom online trip planner to make trip planning even easier!
Visit https://www.valleymetro.org/trip-planner to plan you next trip!

Bike and Walk
Biking and walking to work is fun!  It’s healthy for everyone!  And you would never have to worry about a parking spot because the Phoenix Bioscience Core is equipped with bike cages close to the front entrance.

Parking
Parking permits are available for purchase through UA.  Permits are offered on a space available basis for:

·         Lot 10002 located on Van Buren near 7^th street

·         PBC Parking Garage located on the PBC Campus

For more information about obtaining a permit: email UA at PTS-information@email.arizona.edu

Please see CHHS Campus Map for information.

Showers
Showers are available to employees that bike or walk to work.

There are so many reasons to try any one of these alternative modes of transportation programs.  Please contact Kerri Hooper, Transportation Coordinator for more information about you can help improve air quality.
