Carpool

As the Law School continues to grow, parking has become problematic. While we encourage everyone who can bike, walk, or take public transit to do so, not everyone can do that. Carpooling is a GREAT option for getting to and from school by car without compounding the parking problem. You can look for carpool buddies in your Pod. Pre-orientation meet-ups, Orientation classes, and the first few weeks of classes are good times to scout carpool buddies.

See L&C Carpool match-up links here.

A semester carpool pass costs $82.50.

If you buy a semester carpool pass and decide later you want to use some other method of transportation, your pass will be prorated and refunded. For example, if you buy a pass in September, then decide in November that you want to start biking to school, you’ll be refunded the balance of your pass cost.

There are a *few* carpool parking spots in the Law School parking lot. The rest of the spots (for carpool and individual drivers) are in the Griswold parking lot, which is by the College’s stadium. Overflow parking for carpools and individuals is located below the stadium. Your pass *must* be showing on your dashboard, otherwise you’ll probably get a ticket – they do patrol, and frequently.

*CATS will pilot a carpool matchup resource for incoming students, hopefully sometime during the 2011-2012 school year, but maybe later. We’ll keep you posted!*
