Car pool to save environment

12 March 2008

Help us Green Up Our Act by carpooling to campus.

Monash is encouraging staff and students who rely on their cars to get to campus to participate in a new carpool scheme.

Commuting to and from university in a carpool arrangement reduces traffic congestion, helps you save on petrol and brings down our overall carbon footprint.

The new initiative is part of our commitment to "Greening Up Our Act".

The University is offering a great incentive for you to get involved! There are now more than 600 carpool spaces set aside for people willing to share rides to a Monash campus. Plus you will get a full refund on your 2008 parking permit if you decide to use the carpool service (however you must return your existing permit by March 28.)

If you decide to participate, you must arrive with at least one registered carpool passenger and two valid carpool permits must be clearly displayed on the dashboard.

To register for carpooling or to find a carpool buddy go to the Monash Transport information website.

Once you register, your carpool permit and refund can be collected from your local Security and Traffic office.

All of the spaces in the carpool scheme can be found on your campus at the following places:

Clayton: On the top level of multi-storey car parks (North 1 and South East 4) and also Central 11 Car Park which is in the middle of Union Loop Road.
Caulfield: At the top level of the multi-storey car park next to the shopping centre.
Peninsula: To the right of the main entry roundabout.
Berwick: On the gravel area at the far end of the car park.

For further information on carpooling or any other parking related issue you can submit a question at ask.monash or alternatively you may email parking2008@adm.monash.edu.au.
