Parking Permits for Carpools 

Primary tabs

To qualify for the Carpool Program, at least 2 UTM community members (students, faculty or staff), join together to form a carpool. They will bring one vehicle to campus at a time, therefore sharing the parking space and the cost of the parking permit.

How does it work?

  • Designated carpool spaces are located in preferred locations of lots P5, P8, P9 & the CCT Garage
  • Carpool permits cost the same as regular permits for each lot, but give users access to preferred, designated spaces
  • Each registered carpool group may request up to 12 complimentary day parking passes per year for occasions where their carpool schedules do not align, and more than 1 member needs to park on campus at once. 
  • No member of a car pool can apply for or concurrently hold an additional non-carpool parking permit.

How to Apply

Carpool permits can be purchased during the regular staff and student presales for 2024-2025.

Only 1 carpool member purchases the permit, then registers other members information with the parking office. 

Once you've purchased your carpool permit, Parking services will send an email with additional information, including the webform link.
