Does the institution offer reduced parking fees for car and van poolers?:
Yes

A brief description of the program:

Parking Services offers a carpooling program to help reduce parking demand and traffic on campus. Carpooling will help you trim your budget because you share the permit costs with your friends, and you reduce your gasoline and maintenance expenses for your vehicle.

To make carpooling easy for you, Parking Services will issue 11 free passes per year (distributed 1 use per month) to registered carpool participants. These passes will allow complimentary parking on those days when the car pool won't work, so don't let the occasional doctor's appointment or club meeting prevent you from joining a carpool! Additional information regarding carpools is available in the rules and regulations .

E. Carpools
1. Carpools must have at least 2 participants, including the primary driver, to be considered for ATP registration.
2. One person in the carpool will register as the primary driver and receive a regular permit based on the Priority System.
3. The primary driver will provide the carpool ID number to the participants so the participants may go online and register.
4. No participant other than the primary driver may have a valid permit when the carpool is registered. Each participant will receive an ATP pass.
5. The regular permit is transferable between members of the carpool; however, the primary driver assumes responsibility for all citations issued to vehicles displaying the permit.
6. To cancel your participation in a carpool, you must return your pass to Parking Services. The ATP pass will be forfeited unless the customer enrolls in another method of alternative transportation.
7. If the primary driver leaves the carpool or the carpool membership reaches less than 2 participants, the carpool will be dissolved and all members’ ATP passes will be deactivated.
