Carpools
U-PASS holders have two ways to get free carpool parking on campus.
-
The first way allows students, faculty or staff to carpool on an impromptu
basis, whenever it is convenient for them. After stopping at a campus
gatehouse and showing their U-PASSes, the carpool driver is issued a parking
permit and lot assignment.
-
Faculty and staff who carpool regularly at least three days per week can
obtain a free carpool permit, which allows them to drive directly to their
assigned lot without stopping at a gatehouse. Students can participate
in a permit carpool with a faculty or staff member but cannot be issued
the permit.
Since the start of the U-PASS, the number of carpool permits are up 60
percent and the number of impromptu daily carpool permits issued has increased
23 percent. The total number of carpool participants has increase
by 1,175 since October 1990 to 4,762 in October 1998, a 33 percent increase.
