Carpool

Carpool Permit Information

What is a Carpool?
For these permits, a carpool is defined as:

• Two or more people commuting together to campus in a single vehicle, multiple days per week.  A carpool must include at least two vehicles to allow participants to alternate driving responsibilities. This ensures flexibility and shared responsibility among carpool members.
  

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 eligable for Carpool permits.

• Commuting undergraduate student carpools may register for: Red, Gray, or Center for the Arts Garage permits.

• Commuting graduate student carpools 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.

• Partial-year carpools receive prorated validations.

• Daily validations must be used whenever a carpool member drives their own vehicle to campus.

• Validations are issued when the permit is granted.
