Alternative Transportation Suggestions

We are also suggesting that carpooling or the use of public transportation might be viable options for some people. Information about local public transportation can be found online at: www.compton.edu/campusinformation/publictransportation.aspx

Carpooling to Compton College is a great way to save money and reduce parking hassles. Compton College currently offers incentives for employees who sign up for the rideshare program. For more info, please contact the Compton College Employee Transportation Coordinator, at 310-900-1600, ext. 2141 with any questions.

Safety Reminders

• The safety and well-being of students, faculty, staff and visitors is always a primary concern at Compton College.
• In an emergency, contact campus police 24/7 by calling 911 from any pay phone on campus; or by calling 310-900-1600, ext. 2999 from a cell phone.
• Night students and faculty are encouraged to park in the same general area as other faculty or students with night classes in their building; this provides the opportunity for a group of students and faculty to walk to their cars after dark.
• Immediately report any suspicious activity to campus police.
