As part of UVM's continuing effort to promote sustainable transportation, we offer a carpool program to all full-time UVM employees. Carpoolers benefit from saving money, cutting emissions and reducing vehicle wear and tear. Registered carpoolers can request occasional use parking passes and access CATMA’s guaranteed ride home program.
Requirements for Carpool Program
- Participants must be full-time permanent faculty or staff members, working the same shift on main campus.
- At least one individual participating in the program must own a vehicle and possess a valid driver's license.
- The carpool leader must initiate a carpool application with names of each participant in the carpool.
- All participants must certify that they carpool to work the majority of the days they are on campus.
- All applicants must complete the "Parking Permit Course" at uvm.edu/transportation/required-parking-permit-course. A copy of the Certificate of Completion must be attached to your application.
- By entering into a carpool, participants agree to notify the Transportation and Parking Services office immediately should any changes occur (additions, deletions or replacements).

Employee Carpool Designation & Procedures
Only one of the vehicle registered in the program may park on campus at a time. The vehicle must park in the designated zone depicted by the color of the permit during restricted hours as posted or be subject to warnings or citation. Courtesy Notices do not apply to Carpool participants.
Unexpected circumstances arise. This is no different for carpool members. Should the need arise making carpooling difficult or impossible on a particular day, you may park your vehicle with an Occasional Use Permit, Daily Virtual Pass (purchased in your parking portal), or pay for a valid ParkMobile space to avoid receiving a ticket. Carpool participants should coordinate on these days to make sure the appropriate permits are purchased.
