When you’re budgeting for college, you’ll want to take the cost of commuting to campus into consideration. Remember, if money’s tight, there are several options that can help you keep commuting costs in check (and help protect the environment, too).
Why not take advantage of alternative transportation options to get to our locations?
Try Public Transportation
If you’re looking for an alternative to driving, why not give
public transportation a try? Taking the bus or train offers a number of benefits. And eligible students can
ride DART around town for free!
Check Out Carpooling or Vanpooling Options
If public transportation isn’t a viable option for you,
carpooling to work or class may be a solution. Sharing the cost of commuting (and zipping down HOV lanes) means everybody wins.
Consider Taking Online Classes
If you're considering taking classes at DCCCD, why not look at
online classes? The colleges of DCCCD offer more than 200 distance learning courses. Online classes aren’t the right fit for everyone, but if they work for you, they can cut your commuting costs.
