Agree to car pool to work. Your car pool group, which you will
develop and identify, will be issued one tag that is to be used
between the group's vehicles. Keep in mind the compressed workweek when
you develop your group. Car pooling incentives are:
A) Two* people per vehicle: Each receives an $87.50 credit voucher
toward your 2001-2 academic year tag
B) Three* people per vehicle: Each receives a $112.50 credit voucher
toward your 2001-2 academic year tag
C) Four* people or more per vehicle: Each person receives a $137.50
credit voucher toward your 2001-2 year tag
*Number includes the driver. Credit Vouchers only. No checks or cash
issued.
While the thought of car pooling with colleagues may seem challenging,
it might be easier if you think in terms of who lives in your path to work
as opposed to going out of your way to pick others up or to ride with
someone. Whose house do you drive by everyday on the way? Whose house do
you drive by before you get on the Parkway, or Rt. 78 or the Turnpike?
Keep in mind that recent reports suggest gasoline prices will be going up
sharply this summer. Car pooling has a very positive impact on the
environment, too.
Option 2:
Use some other means to get to work (mass transit, scooter, bike, walk,
drop off, etc.) and receive $87.50 credit on next year's tag. Voucher
only. No checks or cash issued. Van shuttle service will be running
between the South Orange train stations, campus, and the Ring Building
6:30 AM - 7:30 PM daily. We have ordered two new bicycle racks, which
will be installed in addition to the one at the library. You will find
NJTransit links at the end of this message.
Option 3
:
Continue to drive your car to campus, receive a new summer 2001 parking
tag, and receive no special credit incentive toward your fall tag.
Option 4:
If you currently do not have a parking decal or tag, and have to have
one for the summer, they may be purchased at Parking Services for $35. You
may still buy into one of the options above after you purchase a summer
tag.
Handicapped Parking
:
Persons with a state issued Handicap tag; placard or permanent handicap
license plates may participate in Option 1 or 3 and still park in a
designated Handicap Parking Place on campus. There are enough Handicap
Spaces on campus to accommodate everyone has state handicap status. You
must get a new tag too.
General
We are aware that personal needs and situations vary and may create
some minor inconveniences during our summer parking initiative. We are
offering these incentives to strongly encourage you to participate in car
pooling. By so doing, we will be able to reduce the number of cars on
campus - in return you save money and we will all benefit by the
additional 525 parking spaces we will have available to all of us in
September.
Attached please find a Summer Parking Decal Retagging form to open,
print, complete, and sign. Please take the time to do it now so that you
are ready for us to issue you a new tag for summer.
Parking
Services will RELOCATE to the Greek Room, first floor, across from the
Pirate's Cove, University Center Tuesday May 1st - Thursday May 3rd and be
open to accommodate issuing new summer parking hang tags from 10 AM - 6
PM. Please bring the completed forms to this location during these times.
