Carpools are an important alternative to single occupancy vehicles in UW–Madison parking lots and reduce the demand for parking. A carpool is two or more employees (who qualify for parking, including spouses) who drive together in one vehicle. A carpool with three or more members has a significant impact on lowering the demand for parking and may qualify for a carpool permit. All UW faculty, staff, and students who wish to park in UW lots are required to pay for parking.
Faculty and staff.
Faculty and staff who meet all eligibility and priority requirements for annual base lot assignments may apply for a carpool permit and/or register as a member of a carpool. Carpool permit offers will take priority over annual base lot assignments. Each year: 1) carpool registration must be submitted online for approval (for both annual permit carpools and carpool permits); and 2) an application for a permit must be submitted.
UW-Madison Transportation Services uses the following criteria in determining carpool eligibility:
