Carpool Permits
The UNO carpool program assists faculty/staff and students with their daily commute. Benefits of this program: Share Expenses, Reduce Carbon Footprint, Reserved Parking, and Reduced Permit Prices.
How it Works
Each group receives one virtual permit. Each member can register their own vehicle on the application. Any registered vehicle may be used as the carpool vehicle, as long as that is the only vehicle of the group that is parked on campus at one time.
Emergency Ride Home
UNO Emergency Ride Home (ERH) provides free taxi service in the event of an unexpected emergency for sustainable commuters. Current faculty/staff or students who sustainably commuted to UNO are eligible to participate.
