How to Participate in UCSD's Ride-Matching Service

1. Go to UCSD Ride-Match Service, select your Destination, then select Become a Member and follow the instructions.
2. After you have become a member, you will automatically go to your selected destination each time you log on.

Note: Faculty and staff Ride-Match members can track rides using the My Commute Log and earn points toward commuter rewards.

• Log in to UCSD Ride-Match Service.
• From your Destination, use the check boxes and drop-down menus to narrow your list to rides near you or along your route.
• Check the Not a Match box next to rides you don’t want. Select Update at the bottom of page to hide checked rides.
• Contact potential ride matches:
  • Click on the name of your potential ride match.
  • Complete the e-mail and select Send.
• The system will automatically:
  • Flag both rides as a Possible Match
  • Send an e-mail to the other person and place a copy in your E-mail Log. Your potential match will accept or reject the match or reply to your e-mail. Note: Your privacy is protected because the system does not use your personal e-mail address.
• Once you finalize arrangements with your new ridesharing partner(s), return to the Member Information page and change your ride status from Open to Close-have a ride to prevent contact from other riders seeking a match.
