On a magic park & ride
We get not everyone has access to bikeable routes or vanpool connections. It’s not always possible to use Smart Travel options for 100% of your commute. That’s why we love a good Park & Ride.


Park & ride, you say?
We do.
Park & Ride lots are a combo of driving and public transit that can seriously cut down on your time behind the wheel. They are designated, free-to-use parking lots where you can leave your car and hop on a bus, train or join up with a carpool or vanpool to complete your commute. There are dozens in San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced counties.
What's the catch?
No catch, but like any parking lot, parking is at your own risk.
FAQ
It’s a FREE place where you can park your car and hop on a form of Smart Travel to continue your trip.
Parking and switching to another form of transit can save you both time and the stress of driving solo. Park & Ride lots are great for commuters with longer commutes and work best when you can park before the halfway point of your journey.
Unfortunately, dibs can’t accept responsibility for items stolen from your car at a Park & Ride lot. Make sure to lock your car and don’t leave any valuables behind. At the very least, make sure any valuables you can’t take with you are stored out of sight (in your glove box, center console or trunk).
