Transportation
 |
As often as possible, we encourage you to seek opportunities to use
public transportation, carpool, ride a bike or even walk to
you community engagement destination, however, if these
options are not practical, we have a few options that may be
of interest to you.
Draper Center Shuttle
The Draper Center offers free shuttle service to your community
engagement opportunity. Whether your commitment is a weekly
occurrence or a one-time event, we will provide round trip
service in our 7 passenger vehicle within a 30 minute drive
time from the campus. To make shuttle reservations, please
fill out the reservation form and return it to the Draper
Center via e-mail at
drapercenter@pomona.edu or in person to Smith Campus
Center 228. Requests should be made 5 days in advance.
Metrolink Tickets
Is your work in the community along the path of the Metrolink rail
line? We can help you offset the expense of your Metro
link fare.
Zip Car
If your community engagement opportunity is out of the area, and
more than a train ride away, the Draper Center can provide
single-use authorization to the College’s Zip Car pool – at
little or no expense to you!
In accordance to the knowledge that Zip Cars are a shared benefit
among the community of the Claremont Colleges, we kindly ask
you to consider the following Zip Car protocol:
- Return the Zip Car on time.
- Do not keep the Zip Car in your possession longer than you need it.
- Cancel your reservation if you no longer need to use the
vehicle.
Be conscientious of the needs of other and do not reserve a Zip
Car if you have other transportation options available to you.
