Carpools work because they bring together students traveling from the same home area with similar schedules and transport them in one vehicle instead of several. Commuting students can guarantee themselves and their other carpool members a carpool parking permit if all of them simultaneously apply in person at Parking and Commuter Services. Many students living on campus use a one-way ticket to go home on a vanpool on Friday afternoons. Vanpools enable students to read, sleep or study. The ERH program can help them get home if they have a daytime emergency or miss their vanpool at the end of the day.
