On days when multiple vehicles must be driven to campus, one would park in a carpool and the additional drivers would park at Paulson Stadium and use the transit system to access the center of campus.

Groups qualifying for carpool status will be able to purchase one parking permit to share and will be allowed to park in the elected Car Pool Parking area on campus.

Permit sales for these spaces will be limited to assure availability.  All members of the Car Pool should enroll online for the opportunity to purchase a permit.
