Does the institution participate in a car sharing program?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the car sharing program:
Employees may elect to form a carpool (2 employees) or vanpool (3+ employees) to reduce the cost of their RED parking permit. Each member of the car/vanpool will receive 5 temporary daily parking permits per semester for the occasions when a car/vanpool is not convenient. Members of the car/vanpool are not eligible to purchase any other parking permits and must register with parking services to receive discounted parking rates.
Only one vehicle registered to a RED area parking permit is permitted to park on campus at a time unless a temporary daily parking permit has been purchased for the additional vehicle on campus or the additional vehicle is parked in a paid parking area (i.e. garage or parking meter). Each vehicle is subject to citation (Reproduction/Illegal use of Permit, $300) for violations.
