Carpool Program Policy

Purpose

Parking and Transportation Services is committed to providing alternative transportation options to the campus community. We encourage faculty, staff and students to take advantage of the carpooling program.

Eligibility

University faculty, staff and students are eligible to participate in the carpool program. Eligible carpools consist of two or more individuals sharing one permit per carpool (members can register more than one vehicle). Resident students are not eligible to participate in the carpool program.

Benefits

Carpoolers take advantage of many benefits:

 Financial savings – share the cost of a parking permit, save on the cost of gas, save on wear and tear on your vehicle.

 More convenient, less stressful commute.

 Contribute to a cleaner environment. One less car on the road equals less gas emissions.

 Automatic enrollment in Guaranteed Ride Home which provides transportation home for an emergency or last minute schedule change.

 Automatic enrollment in the Alternative Transportation Parking Pass Program which offers four free parking passes per semester. Freshmen will be issued vouchers to park at a county garage.

How It Works

 All members of the Carpool must sign the application and agreement. The form can be obtained online at the Parking & Transportation website or from the office located in the Union Garage.

 Return form to the Parking and Transportation office, Attn: Coordinator.

 The carpool group will need to determine who will purchase the permit at the Auxiliary Services Business Office (ASBO). All other carpool recipients will be restricted from purchasing a permit. The group is responsible for transferring the permit among the participants. Freshmen are restricted from parking on campus and will be issued a permit to park at a county garage.

 Each carpool vehicle will need to be registered with the carpool group. All members of the carpool will need to submit proof of current address (driver’s license, registration). A copy of the registration certificate for each car that might be used in the carpool group should be submitted with the application.

 Upon approval each participant will be enrolled in the Guaranteed Ride Home Program and the Alternative Transportation Parking Pass Program.

 All carpool members are responsible for knowing and complying with the parking regulations on campus. Visit and click the Parking Information link to review the policies and regulations.

 If a member of the carpool chooses to leave the carpool or leaves employment with the university, a new carpool agreement must be signed by the remaining members. The Parking & Transportation records will be updated based on the new information. If only one member remains in the group, Parking and Transportation Services must be notified, and all alternative transportation programs will be cancelled. A parking permit may not be transferred to another individual.

 If a citation is issued, it will be assigned to the permit holder. Upon request a citation can be reassigned to another carpool member’s registered vehicle.

 The carpool application will be approved if the carpool makes sense. Carpool participants must submit a current address.

 If the carpool dissolves, applicable refunds will be issued.

 Prior to approval, any current permits will need to be returned to ASBO. Applicable refunds will apply.

What the Carpool Application and Agreement Covers

A Carpool Application and Agreement is a written contract used by organizers, employers, schools, or community groups to register riders and drivers, set operational rules, and record responsibilities. It collects participant information, vehicle and insurance details, route and schedule data, emergency contacts, and consent for liability and data handling. The document also defines behavioral expectations, cancellation and substitution procedures, and signature blocks for parties. When properly completed, it creates a clear record that supports safety, insurance claims, and dispute resolution among participants.

Why a Formal Agreement Matters

A formal Carpool Application and Agreement clarifies liability, documents insurance coverage, and sets expectations for riders and drivers. It reduces ambiguity about schedules, costs, and emergency procedures while creating a record useful for insurers and administrators.

Who Typically Completes This Form

The agreement suits any group that needs an auditable record of participants, expectations, and vehicle/insurance details.

  • Employers and HR teams managing commute programs or parking alternatives for employees.
  • School administrators and PTA leaders arranging supervised student transportation and permission records.
  • Community groups and neighborhood organizers coordinating recurring shared rides among residents.

Common Preparation and Execution Mistakes

  • Incomplete insurance details that delay or prevent coverage verification during claims.
  • Mismatched names between license and signature that complicate identity verification and insurer acceptance.
  • Missing emergency contact or medical information for riders, increasing risk in incidents.
  • Using vague payment or cost-sharing language that leads to later disputes among participants.

Potential Legal and Insurance Risks

Liability Exposure: Driver may face civil claims
Insurance Denial: Carrier may deny coverage
Child Safety: Legal consequences for inadequate consent
Contract Disputes: Costly litigation risk
Signature Issues: Invalid signatures reduce enforceability
Regulatory Fines: Local rules may impose penalties

Real-World Examples of Digital Form Use

Organizations use digital agreements to reduce turnaround time and keep centrally accessible records of consent and insurance.

Optica Ventures LLC — Operational Simplicity

Optica used online forms to register participants quickly.

  • "The interface is simple and easy-to-use for our team; more importantly, it is just as easy for our customers."
  • That ease translated into faster completion and fewer follow-ups when gathering driver and insurance details.

Martin Properties — Compliance from Anywhere

A property manager moved routine permission forms online to avoid in-person collection.

  • "I can process and execute all of these documents online with 100% compliance and built-in security."
  • Centralized signed copies reduced administrative burden and improved traceability for incident response.

Practical Tips for Accurate Completion and Management

Adopt consistent procedures and a single storage location to reduce errors and make audits straightforward.

Use a single authoritative form
Avoid multiple versions; maintain one approved template and update it centrally when policy or insurance requirements change to prevent conflicting terms.
Verify identification and insurance up front
Confirm driver license validity and active insurance coverage before allowing participation; document verification dates and the person who confirmed them.
Require electronic signatures with audit trail
Capture signer intent, timestamp, and IP or authentication method so executed copies include evidence suitable for insurers and administrators.
Regularly review and renew records
Set reminders for annual insurance checks and background verifications; remove inactive participants to keep records current.
