Transportation to the AULA Campus

Home › Resources › Current Students › Transportation to the AULA Campus

The goal of AULA is to reduce the total number of vehicle trips made to campus by faculty, staff, and students. This aim helps the California clean-air effort and reduces community vehicle congestion. However, Culver City has really flourished over the last previous years with the redevelopment of Downtown Culver City and the arrival of the Metro Expo Line and is designed with highly pedestrian-friendly areas. Please use the information below in order to find the best option to commute to AULA.

Pay Bus or Train Fares

  • Trains – scan a TAP card at the gate. You can buy a single use pass at vending machines outside of the gate and scan it in place of a TAP card.
    * Although not all the light rail train platforms have vending machines.

Buy a TAP Card

Visit taptogo.net if you want to pay online. (For train you cannot use cash, it should be TAP card)

The best option is paying at vending machines outside of gates at Metro Rail stations. However, some of the light rail train platforms do not have vending machines, you should check “Vendor Locations” online.
