A brief description of the program:

A carpool is defined as three or more University of Alberta staff or students, residing at different addresses, who choose to drive together as their regular means of commuting to the university.

All members of the carpool, as well as all vehicles that may be used in the carpool, must be registered with Parking Services (parking.services@ualberta.ca). Carpool members are assigned one carpool permit to share. The permit is transferable among any vehicle registered in association with the carpool. Only one registered vehicle may be parked at any given time with the carpool permit. Any additional vehicle(s) parked must display a valid parking permit. Carpool permits are valid both in regular stalls and in designated carpool stalls that have been set up in premium locations.

Parking Services arranges to split the cost of the carpool permit equally among the members and collects the fee through any currently accepted means of payment (payroll deduction, monthly credit card, debit). If the carpool dissolves for any reason during the year, members must inform Parking Services within two weeks. The members are then free to purchase parking permits through the normal procedures.

Members may find their own carpool partners and fill out the Carpool Registration Form to register, or they may sign up with www.carpool.ca, which will attempt to match members with other interested individuals with similar commuting needs.
