USC Releases New Transportation iPhone App

Campus Cruiser
This section of the app allows students to call campus cruiser to track and check the status of their ride as well as cancel their cruiser.
Zipcar, Zimride & Enterprise
Links to the Zipcar, Zimride and Enterprise rental services web sites are provided on this category of the app.
Hours of Operation
Hours of the various offices within the Transportation Department are provided, as well as L.A. Live Shuttle hours and schedules to the cruisers and shuttles.
Instant Feedback
In this section of the app, users are able to leave their student ID number, email and any comments to the Transportation Department.
