Cars

Cars are the most popular and convenient form of transportation in Pomona. Purchasing a car costs several thousands of dollars and purchasing one involves a lot of research and purchasing auto insurance. If buying a used car, it is advisable to have it checked by a mechanic before making any agreement or payment. Before buying a vehicle, students and scholars should know their rights and responsibilities. The State of California Department of Justice website provides guidelines on purchasing a motor vehicle. 

Students and scholars who own cars and are interested in purchasing a CPP parking permit should visit the Parking Services website to view parking options on and around campus.

Bikes

Biking is a popular form of transportation at CPP. Bikes are allowed everywhere on campus except inside buildings, and there are bike stands outside of many buildings on campus. Special traffic rules apply to cyclists on and off-campus, and it is important to be aware of them. Biking to and from campus is ideal for students and scholars who live close to campus. Bikes can be purchased from a local used bike store around campus.

When purchasing a bike, it is crucial to also buy a bike lock, as suggested by CPP University Police.
