The benefits of carpooling are clear — it saves money, reduces wear and tear on cars, and lowers carbon emissions! Check out what the Office of Parking and Transportation Services has to offer.

Carpool program is currently suspended as we work on making a better parking program.

New members may be added to the group at any time.

An individual may opt out of a carpool program my coordinating with the main designated driver.  To obtain new parking, the participant opting out will need to contact the department liaison and might be put on a waiting list.

The carpool group will have one week to replace the participant or relinquish their carpool permit.
