Application Process / Eligibility Policies

• The application must contain complete information for each rider, incuding automobile information
• Permit will not be issued until verification process is complete (approximately within 24 hours)
• A check will be completed to verify applicants' employment status
• Applicants will be checked for existing permits, including vanpool registrations
• If the applicant holds a permit of any kind, it must be turned in prior to issuing the CP permit
• Twelve free daily permits will be issued on a prorated basis
• Free daily passes will be issued on the following prorated schedule:

• Only one CP permit issued per application
• Carpool participants must apply for a new CP permit each year

Additional Considerations

• A letter will be issued informing the carpool of the status of the permit if one participant chooses to purchase a regular permit
• Each temporary university employee participating in a carpool must pay his or her portion of the CP permit in its entirety when the permit is issued
• Carpool participants may not ask for or receive a temporary parking permit at either of the visitor information booths. If their CP is lost or stolen they will be issued a new permit and the old one will be voided out of the system.
