Carpools
![]() |
Below is an overview of the permit discount structure, which varies depending on how many people are in your carpool.
Number of People | Permit Discount |
Three-person carpool | 50% off |
Four or more | 75% off |
All carpool spaces are located in faculty/staff parking garages, so discounted rates are calculated from current faculty/staff garage permit prices. All carpoolers, regardless of classification, will be charged a discounted faculty/staff garage permit rate.
COAST Carpool permits are valid in their assigned garage ONLY. Any vehicle found displaying a carpool permit at any time outside of a garage, including Relaxed Parking, will receive a citation.
- To participate and receive all carpooling benefits, all members of a carpool must join COAST.
- If you've already purchased a parking permit and want to carpool instead, you can return your permit for a prorated refund and join a carpool.
- If you lose a carpool member, notify Parking and Transportation within 48 hours and replace within 10 days.
- Each member receives a dozen full-day parking vouchers a year, for use should an emergency or scheduling conflict arise. The vouchers are valid for the visitor section of a garage.
