Triton Transit: Mobility

If you have a disability that makes it difficult to get from point to point within the UC San Diego campus, Triton Transit: Mobility can help you travel between ADA-compliant locations on the La Jolla campus via a wheelchair-accessible van or cart.

To arrange transportation for disabled visitors attending campus events, see Arranging Event Parking for Guests.

Hours

Weekdays 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. (last pick up) and weekends 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last pick up); excludes university holidays.

  • Use the online reservation service to schedule trips a day or more in advance. To access this system, you must be using a computer on the campus network or VPN.
    • Reserve a single or recurring pickup time. Rides are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so you may have to choose a pickup time that's earlier or later than your first choice.
    • Note: Newly registered passengers are not able to use online reservations service the first day of enrollment. To schedule a pickup on the first day of enrollment, call Triton Transit: Mobility, (858) 534-7422, at least 40 minutes in advance. During phone network outages, please use our mobile number, (858) 336-4604.

  • To change a scheduled pickup or cancel a ride, call Triton Transit: Mobility, (858) 534-7422, at least 30 minutes in advance. During phone network outages, please use our mobile number, (858) 336-4604.
  • If an unexpected condition will cause you to be late or miss your pickup—for example, you are unable to find parking near your scheduled stop—call Triton Transit: Mobility and explain. As long as the change doesn't disrupt the driver's ability to pick up the next passenger, you can arrange a different campus pickup location.

Observe these guidelines.

  • Do not choose a wheelchair-accessible cart if you do not need one.
  • If your desired pickup time is not available, you will need to choose an earlier or later time. 
  • It’s your responsibility to be at your pickup location at the scheduled time. Drivers wait no longer than 5 minutes.
  • Provide a cell phone number and carry it when a ride is scheduled so you can be notified of changes or delays.
  • Drivers will assist you out of the vehicle. If you need assistance getting to a specific room or floor, you must make your own arrangements.
  • If you miss a ride without canceling, your transportation services will be suspended until you contact Triton Transit: Mobility and request to be reinstated.
    • If you do not request reinstatement within a week of the missed ride, Triton Transit: Mobility will permanently cancel your transportation services.
    • If you miss four rides, Triton Transit: Mobility will permanently cancel your transportation services, unless you are reinstated by the Office for Students with Disabilities or Disability Counseling and Consulting (faculty and staff).
  • If you forget your password, call Triton Transit: Mobility, (858) 534-7422, during business hours to have your password reset.
