  Parking and Transportation Programs

Vanpool Subsidy

The university is providing subsidies to reduce the cost of vanpool ridership to $20 per month.

  • Address the transportation challenges for staff for whom riding a bike, the bus or in a personal vehicle are not viable options due to commute times, schedules or costs
  • Increase the affordability of vanpooling as a means to commute to campus
  • Increase the ability to attract, develop and retain front-line staff

Similar to a standard vanpool program, a group of 5-8 staff share a van provided by a commuter organization (Way to Go).  Driving responsibilities and meeting locations can be shared and/or negotiated amongst eligible riders.  To make vanpooling more financially feasible, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ's program includes a significantly reduced monthly fee of $20 for Front-line Service Employees (or $50 for all other Regular Employees) deducted from their monthly paycheck.

Benefits of the program include:

  • The van (or a ride in one)
  • Gas, insurance Maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance
  • Free parking on campus 
  • Guaranteed taxi ride home in case of an emergency or unplanned circumstance
  • One free day-long personal parking permit per month for days need when staff need to drive a personal vehicle to campus (plus 3 additional permits per month at reduced cost)
