Patriot Bike Checkout Program
A reminder that you can check out a bike with your Mason ID from either the Recreation Athletic Complex (The RAC) or the Aquatic and Fitness Center. Return it to either location at no cost for one day. Check it out on a Friday and have it all weekend. You’ll receive the bike, day lights, a helmet, and lock. Read more details.
Try Going Car-Free
It’s always a great idea to have more than one way to get to Mason. Car-Free Day on September 22 is an opportunity to try a new way to commute. Take the Car-Free pledge and receive a Nift Gift with your confirmation email. You will also be entered into a raffle for some great prizes.
If you’re a full-time employee, remember that public transportation and vanpool costs are subsidized up to the IRS limit of $280/month. Find more details on the Commuter Choice Program.
Change Your Commute: Vanpool
Looking for a new way to get to work? Consider vanpooling. Travel with the same group of Mason colleagues, and reduce the time you spend driving. Plus, for full-time faculty/staff, the cost of your commute can be subsidized by Mason up to $280/month.
