Carpooling

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.

There are many benefits to carpooling.

1. Environmentally friendly alternative: Carpooling reduces the number of cars on the road and helps reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality.
2. Economic benefits: Carpool partners split the price of the parking space and the price of gasoline.
3. Health benefits: The reduction of stress driving to work or school on a regular basis alone.
4. Limited reserved parking: Spaces in selected garages for three or more participants in a carpool group.
5. Social benefits: Sharing the driving, engaging in good conversation, and doing your part to improve the campus and the environment.

A carpool cannot include a car owner and non-car owner. The purpose of the program is to reduce the number of cars on the road and traffic congestion.
