With the fall 2019 rush coming up, the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa wants to remind students, faculty and staff of available commuter options to campus. Commuter Services would also like to remind everyone about the importance of showing respect and consideration to our campus and community ʻohana.

UH is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and supporting sustainable modes of transportation. Commuters who live within three miles of campus are encouraged to consider alternative means of transportation, including walking, as a healthy and sustainable option.
