TAPS Recognized for Environmentalism

The United Way honored UCSC's Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) Department as a "Community Hero" at its 2007 Community Assessment Project Year 13 press conference and celebration on November 19, 2007.

The vanpool program, established in 1992, has grown from 2 vans coming from Watsonville to over 20 vans transporting employees from areas as far away as Palo Alto.

The Community Assessment Project study reports annually on the status of Santa Cruz County issues, ranging from the economy and health care to crime, education, and the environment. The project also each year honors county residents, or Community Heroes, who have contributed to the community through their work or volunteering.
