UMaine's Staff Car
Pooling Program
A free permit,
space in a parking lot of your choice, a cleaner environment and
saving money - what more could a program offer?
Establishing a Carpool
Carpools consist of two or more people
traveling in the same vehicle, one of which is deemed the
Coordinator. All carpool members must register at
GoMaine.org. Data collected will not be used for any other
purpose.
By following the steps provided,
GoMaine.org
will help with quick and easy ride-matches of individuals who have
similar schedules that work and live near each other. The
group chooses a Coordinator who brings the completed
application
to 523 DTAV, Community Center; picks up the free permit, and
chooses the lot where the carpool group will park each day.
All carpool member are expected to be
knowledgeable
of the Carpool Rules and Regulations.
No-charge Temporary Permits
Although one permit will be provided for the
group, no additional permits will be needed. On days that
carpool members must drive their own vehicle individually,
temporary permits will be available at the Student Service Center,
143 Memorial Union or Public Safety, Rangeley Rd.
Each carpool member is eligible for up to 10
no-charge temporary permits per semester, allowing them to park in
any Blue or Black lot (as is the current practice.)
Emergency Rides Home
In case of an emergency, a carpool member
who lives within 20 miles of campus makes a call to the designated
taxi company and rides home at no charge.
For the member who lives further than 20
miles of campus, the designated rental agency will bring a vehicle
to you at your campus address.
Either way, there is NO COST to the carpool
member.
Questions?
The staff of Parking and Transportation Services will be happy to

unclear. Office hours are Monday - Friday 8:00AM - 4:30 PM.
