SDSU ON THE MOVE!

Take the SDSU On the Move Pledge and commit to making your commute to campus easier, smarter, and more sustainable!

Let’s keep SDSU On the Move!

There are so many ways to be On the Move:
- Use public transit
- Bike to campus
- Walk, scoot, or skateboard
- Carpool with friends or classmates
- Take alternative routes to campus and help avoid congestion on College Ave.

Every trip is an opportunity to try a different way of getting to campus and help keep our SDSU community moving.
