MavRIDE Bus Pass Program
The MavRIDE bus pass program gives eligible Mavericks the ability to use their MavCARD as a bus pass on any Omaha Metro or ORBT route at any time. Your MavCARD is automatically activated as your MavRIDE bus pass if you meet eligibility criteria.
Find more information about:
Scanning Your MavCard
All Omaha Metro and ORBT routes require MavRIDE participants scan their MavCard at the buses’ appropriate fare box in order to ride. This is to ensure that participants are using this service and improve accuracy in usage tracking. By requiring a MavCard scan, we can better maintain the program's sustainability, ensuring it remains available to those eligible at UNO.
MavRIDE may only be used by the UNO student, faculty, or staff member pictured on the MavCARD.

UNO Carpool Program
The UNO carpool program assists faculty, staff, and students with their daily commute by allowing them to share parking expenses, reduce their carbon footprint, and reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles parking on campus.
Find more information about:
How to Apply
Please complete the online Carpool Application form. Both applicants must meet the eligibility criteria. You will receive a confirmation email with instructions if your application has been approved.
If approved, the primary carpool member must purchase the permit in person at the UNO Parking and Transit Services office during business hours using a credit card; payments cannot be made via Mavlink (for students) or through payroll deduction (for faculty/staff). No refunds will be issued for permit abuse.
Eligibility
Each carpool group must consist of a minimum/maximum of two (2) members who are currently actively enrolled students or employed faculty/staff members at UNO, living off campus and commuting to UNO from off campus. Residents living on campus at UNO, spouses, and cohabitants are ineligible to participate.
Cost & Locations
Carpool permits are available for East Parking Garage, West Parking Garage, or Pacific Parking Garage locations. Location preferences and assignments are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost of a UNO carpool permit is 50% of the full price of a UNO garage permit.
Use Policy
Each carpool group is issued one (1) virtual permit, restricted to assigned carpool spaces until 2:30 P.M. After 2:30 P.M., permit holders may park in general use spaces or remain in their designated carpool spot. Any registered vehicle on the carpool permit may serve as the carpool vehicle, with only one (1) vehicle from the group allowed on campus at a time. Carpool permit holders cannot purchase any other annual or semester UNO parking permits. If a member opts not to carpool on a given day, they must purchase a daily or hourly permit, which cannot be used in carpool spaces.
Citation Policy
If any member of a carpool group receives five (5) or more citations on their vehicle, the group will be dissolved, and each member will need to purchase a separate parking permit. Additionally, if the primary permit holder is placed on the tow list, the carpool group will also be dissolved.
