Carpool FAQ
What if I can’t carpool one day or have an emergency?
Each member of a carpool receives 12 daily passes 12 daily passes for access to your group’s preferred lot and 12 for any remote lot. Additional daily passes can be purchased for $3 at the Parking and Transportation Office. For unexpected crises, carpool members may register for Triangle Transit's Emergency Ride Home Program. Information about using this service can be found here.
How many carpool permits will each participating group receive?
Each group will receive one permit for the preferred lot. The permit is transferable among all participants’ vehicles.
Am I guaranteed a place to park?
Yes. Duke will designate parking spaces to accommodate carpool permit holders.
If I join a carpool, can I still keep my individual parking permit?
No. Carpoolers can not have individual permits. If you sign up for a carpool, your former parking permit will be deactivated.
What if a carpool member forgets to give the permit to the next driver, and we arrive without a permit?
The group may use a day pass for access to an undesignated space in the preferred lot or a remote lot. We suggest that participants keep day passes in their vehicles for such situations.
What if I decide to quit the carpool program?
Duke Parking and Transportation will attempt to assign participants to previous parking locations.
