Lighten your commute burden by carpooling

Save money and park with ease when you share your UCSF commute (most campus destinations apply, immediately available at Mission Bay and Laurel Heights). Each carpool needs a minimum of three people to qualify.

Carpool parking permit

As a carpool member, you may purchase a carpool parking permit together with your fellow carpoolers on a pre-tax basis. Carpools must arrive at their designated parking lot with ALL riders in the car.

Compare the following prices to the $118.00 monthly cost of a single-driver parking permit.

Carpools with 6 or more people can form a vanpool and qualify for free parking.

Sign up

Once you have organized a carpool, sign up for a carpool permit at Transportation Services. We will provide you with the necessary application forms required for each carpool member. Career status employees may opt to have the permit fee deducted automatically from their monthly paycheck before tax. For more details on permit issuance and payment, contact us at (415) 476-1511.
