Carpool Permits

The University of Nebraska–Omaha (UNO) carpool program assists faculty/staff and students with their daily commute.  Benefits of this program:  Share Expenses, Reduce Carbon Footprint, Provide Reserved Parking, Decrease Stress, Reduce Permit Prices.

How it Works

Each group receives one virtual permit. Each member can their own registered vehicle  on the application. Any registered vehicle may be used as the carpool vehicle, as long as that is the only vehicle of the group that is parked on campus at one time.. 

Carpool permits are restricted to carpool spaces until 5 P.M.  After 5 P.M., they can park in general use stalls.

Eligibility

  1. Current faculty/staff or students with a minimum of two participants per carpool.
  2. Daily permits CANNOT park in a carpool space.
  3. Carpool permit holders cannot purchase any other annual/semester permit.  If a member elects not to ride with the carpool on a given day, they must purchase a daily/hourly permit, pay $3 after 12:30pm to park in the East Garage or park at Lot 26.

The primary permit holder is charged and assigned the permit.  This charge will not be processed through payroll or MavLink, cash or credit only.
