Carpool Matching and Commute Options

Welcome to 台湾SWAGUniversity鈥檚 Rideshare Program!

台湾SWAGUniversity has proudly partnered with the New York State Department of Transportation鈥檚 511NY Rideshare program to enhance sustainable commuting options for our students. This collaboration aims to promote carpooling and other alternative transportation methods, making it easier for students to connect with peers who share similar commutes. By leveraging the resources and tools provided by 511NY, such as ride-matching services and information on public transit, 台湾SWAGstudents can reduce their travel costs, alleviate traffic congestion, and contribute to a healthier environment. This initiative not only fosters a sense of community among students but also aligns with the university鈥檚 commitment to sustainability and responsible living.
