Triton Commuter Club

Stuff happens. When it does, we’ve got your back.

We appreciate our fellow Tritons who leave their cars at home and eliminate the traffic, parking and environmental impacts of driving alone.

If you took a lower-impact mode to campus from your off-campus residence and you’re unable to travel home in the same way due to an emergency, you may qualify for an Emergency Ride Home (ERH) at no cost or a significantly reduced cost. Learn more

Transportation Services and Associated Students (AS) have teamed up to provide all current UC San Diego faculty, staff and students access to some of the safest helmet tech on the market.

What is MIPS technology? MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. You’re investing a lot in that brain of yours and a MIPS helmet is a great way to protect it.

All current UC San Diego faculty, staff and students are eligible to purchase a $10 Giro Isode MIPS or Quarter MIPS helmet from Campus Bike & Skate shop. That’s roughly 80% off! We want ALL Tritons to have access to a quality helmet so if the $10 would present a financial hardship, we can provide you with a MIPS helmet for free.

Active students, faculty and staff are eligible to claim one Helmet Access Program e-voucher through their Triton Commuter Club Account.

Triton Commuter Club Official Drawing Rules

 Quarterly Incentive Drawings

• Current UC San Diego faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduate students who do not hold an annual or consecutive-day parking permit are eligible to participate in the Triton Commuter Club (TCC). Purchasing or owning an annual or consecutive-day parking permit disqualifies the permit-holder from TCC participation.
• Each UC San Diego affiliate can only earn points on one Triton Commuter Club account. Students should log in using Student SSO while faculty and non-student staff should log in using employee SSO.
• To earn points, you must sign-in to the Triton Commuter Club Portal and log your commute trips. Trips must be logged within five weeks.
• Lower impact and averted trips may only be logged for your regularly scheduled work or class days. If you would not have had a reason to commute, do not log low-impact or averted trips. Inaccurately logging trips or claiming incentives to which one is not entitled is theft and will be addressed under campus policy governing employee and/or student conduct.
• To be eligible for quarterly prize drawings, you must be a current Triton Commuter Club member at the end of the quarter. Prizes may be taxable. Winners are individually responsible for any taxes associated with their winnings.
• Following Commencement each year, points that have not been redeemed for incentives will be converted to entries in the spring quarter prize drawing.

• Log on to the Triton Commuter Club Portal; you will be redirected to ucsd.rideamigos.com.
• Click on “Login Here” located on the top right side of the screen.
• Login using your UC San Diego Single Sign-On credentials.
• Select your user network (Faculty, Staff and Graduate students are on a separate network from Undergraduates).
• Follow the prompts to set up your commutes. Start logging your commute days each week or at the end of each month.
• Your regular participation by “trip-logging” provides automatic entry in to the Triton Commuter Club incentive drawings.

While the official way to participate in Triton Commuter Club is through the RideAmigos portal, some individuals are connecting on Discord.
