The permits for the new school year are here. If you have a carpool permit from last year, they have expired as of August 31, 2009.

The previous GreenRide Permit must be returned to the ofice in exchange for the new permit. The entire carpool group must be present in order for new permits to be issued. Each member must have a valid annual parking decal and no outstanding citations to be eligible for a carpool permit.

Found parking in the Panther Garage, but have class in PC? 
PC is a short walk to any of the main buildings on campus.

Park Closer! Sign up for GreenRide, pick up your permit, carpool, and park closer.
It’s free!  Help the environment, while saving time, money, and gas. 

Parking & Transportation has a database that will allow you to locate carpool members by selecting location, schedules, and lifestyle preferences.  It's easy to use and quick.  You will remain anonymous to users, until you decide you want to make contact to form a group.  You can view potential ride matches from a map of the general area of your route.

Try GreenRide!

We are trying a valet parking program at the University Park Campus.  It’s goal is to accommodate for visitors that need to save time parking. Visitors have valet as an alternative to the metered parking spaces, however students and staff may used it.

The valet program is currently running in Lot 3 – in front of the Bookstore.  It is $5.00/first two hours and $12.00/day.  This is just an option and not required.  The program certainly does not increase any prices or current charges to student access fees.
