Carpool Permit Information

What is a Carpool?
For the purposes of these permits, a carpool is defined as two or more individuals who commute to campus together in a single vehicle on a regular, multi-day basis each week. To support equitable participation and shared driving responsibilities, a carpool must include at least two registered vehicles, allowing participants to alternate driving as needed. All carpool participants must reside within the same state of residence.

Carpool Permit Application

Each carpool member must complete a permit application (see below) and submit it to the Parking Services Office.

Employee carpools may register for permits in these areas: Garage, Pearson, Central Reserved, Central, Gray, or Red level parking.

Employee Hybrid permits are not eligible for Carpool permits.

A commuting undergraduate student may register for: Red, Gray, Central, Pearson, or Garage permits (Perkins, Trabant, or CFA).

Validations

Each carpool permit includes 15 virtual daily validations for the full year.

Daily validations must be used by one of the vehicles listed on the carpool on any day when both carpool member vehicles are on campus. Once all daily validations have been used, only one vehicle associated with the carpool may be on campus at a time. If a second vehicle needs to be on campus, that driver must pay to park using Passport Mobile Pay, use an on-site parking kiosk, or the carpool can be returned, and each member can purchase their own parking permit.

Partial-year carpools receive prorated validations.

Validations are issued when the permit is granted.

An individual cannot register simultaneously for a regular parking permit and as a carpool member—doing so is considered fraudulent.

Carpool registration is not available online.

No refunds on carpool permits.

Each carpool member must complete and submit a registration form.

Forms should be returned to Parking Services by email: parking@udel.edu
