Well, I'm back from Coronado/San Diego and back into the swing of things. Nothing terribly new to report, although I do promise to post my remarks on living amongst the Irish in the next few days. Or something. In the meantime, enjoy this new "top secret" message from the UC Berkeley "Academic Senate Faculty, All Academic Titles" email list.

Subject: New Directions--The Commute Alternative Program for UCB Faculty and Staff
--------
Berkeley's Parking & Transportation Department (P&T) is offering a
variety of new incentives to encourage and assist Cal employees using
alternative transportation to commute to campus. The New Directions
program provides a variety of new benefits for the 2002/2003 year.
The enhancements include:
-Greatly reduced and free carpool parking rates. Create a two-person
carpool and each member pays 75% less for standard F or C parking;
create a three-person carpool and park for FREE. (Free, reserved
carpool parking spaces are provided throughout campus.)
-Pre-tax purchase of up to $100 a month in tickets for BART, AC
Transit and more, plus an additional monthly subsidy from New
Directions. Purchase transit tickets with pre-tax dollars and save up
to 46% on costs. New for the coming year, employees enrolled in the
Pre-Tax Transit program will enjoy even greater savings with a $10 a
month subsidy offered by P&T toward their transit purchases. There are
many new transit ticket combinations available.
-The monthly transit subsidy will increase from $6 a month to $10 a
month. Transit commuters not eligible for the pre-tax program or
those who vary transit use month to month can enjoy a $10 per month
subsidy toward transit tickets purchased at the Berkeley TRiP store.
-All New Directions participants (bicyclists, pedestrians, transit
riders, carpoolers and vanpoolers) receive a guaranteed ride home in
the event of a personal emergency, can purchase up to 48 days of
discounted parking for days when they need to drive alone and receive
free rides on campus BEAR Transit Shuttles.
Remember: Any employee can try a New Directions program risk free.
It's free and easy to change programs or opt to purchase a parking
permit!
