BICYCLES - If you ride your bicycle to the Medical Center, you
may park in a specially designated area located in the CHS Parking
Structure on the A level. This area is kept locked and bicycle racks
are provided; however, you must supply your own chain lock. See
the House Staff Office for access to this area (825-8307).
If you are bicycling for recreation, the most popular bike path runs
for miles along the beach. Another much-used route runs along
San Vicente Boulevard in West L.A. and stretches to the ocean.
Because bicycles are road vehicles and are regulated by state and
city laws, all bicycles are required to be licensed. The UCLA
Campus Police Department provides free bicycle registration in their
office located at 601 Westwood Plaza. Call 310-794-RIDE for a map
of designated bicycle parking areas on campus.
BUSES - If you don’t have a car or bicycle you may consider
riding the bus. There are 10 direct bus lines to campus. Major bus
companies are the Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines (the “Big Blue
Buses”) 310-451-5444, the Culver City Bus Lines 310-253-6500 and
the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) 213-626-4455.
Bus schedules are available at the Information Desk in the Medical
Center Main Lobby.
