Carpools
U-PASS holders that share the ride 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, carpool drivers are issued a parking permit
and lot assignment for that day. Students must have at least three U-PASS
holders to park on main campus, while faculty and staff members need only
two U-PASS holders.
-
Two or more faculty and staff members who regularly carpool 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 65
percent and the number of impromptu daily carpool permits issued has increased
21 percent. The total number of carpool participants has increased by 1,174
since October 1990 to 4,761 in October 1999, a 33 percent increase.
