MUSC A to Z

The Carpool Program encourages eligible MUSC employees to share a ride to and from campus.
 
Carpooling improves air quality and conserves energy; reduces traffic and relieves parking congestion; cuts vehicle wear and tear; reduces gasoline consumption, insurance and parking costs; provides an opportunity to make friends, reduce stress of commuting alone and enjoy preferred parking.

Carpool Basics

A carpool group consists of two or more registered members.  Registered members will be full-time university or Medical University Hospital Authority employees.

Registered members must work compatible day-shift schedule on MUSC's main campus and live in separate households located along a reasonable commuting path.

Applications for an assignment under the provisions of the carpool program are subject to the review and approval of the director of the Office of Parking Management.
 

Carpool Rules

Participating carpool groups must register with OPM. Participants may register at any time of the year. A one-time registration fee applies.
  
There is one carpool permit and one access card per carpool group. Carpool participants will re-register with OPM annually. Re-registration occurs between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30; renewed carpool permits must be displayed by Oct. 1.
  
Prospective participants may find their own carpool partners or may use the MUSC carpool matching service at http://carpool.musc.edu.
 
Carpool members may select a parking location in one of several employee parking lots or garages. OPM will assign a specific parking space in the selected location for the carpool group.
 
To support medical appointments and other personal needs of carpool participants, each participant has the authorization to park in the Hagood parking system. An employee who participates in a carpool and gives up his personal MUSC parking space will receive an OPM parking coupon booklet containing 12-day passes, good for one year, for courtesy parking in a specified on-campus parking location.

 

Cancellation Requirements

If an MUSC carpool dissolves, participants should notify OPM immediately to relinquish the carpool parking space.
Payroll deductions will not stop until the carpool parking permit and parking access card are returned to OPM.
  

   
The MUSC Carpooling webpage was created with the hope that MUSC employees, students, faculty, and staff would find others in close proximity with similar schedules with which to create carpools.  Creating carpools would help cut costs, reduce traffic congestion, and reduce the demand on the MUSC parking system for parking.

The carpool site is a safe place where MUSC employees, students, faculty and staff can enter their information after signing on with his/her MUSC USERID and password.  Once signed onto the site the potential carpooler can enter his/her schedule and find someone in their general area with a similar schedule.  If he/she decides they would rather not participate, they can opt out and go no further.
