Canterbury car share scheme guidelines

The aim of the scheme is to encourage car sharing. Please ensure that you read the car share scheme conditions below in conjunction with the University Traffic Regulations.

Conditions

1. A car share parking permit application should be completed by all participants in your car share team.
2. The completed car share form should be returned to the Transport and Parking section in the Estates Department.
3. A green car share permit will be issued to each person who is registered on the form. The cost of the permit is £15 per person.
4. The parking administration team will pass on the details of the car share team to the Travel Plan Coordinator.
5. Each member of the car share team should clearly display their green car share permit on the dashboard. This means that there should be two or more permits on display at any one time unless there are extenuating circumstances that mean that you are only able to display one permit. (See points 6 and 7.)
6. If a member of the car share team occasionally needs to bring an additional registered car to the University, then they must obtain an Occasional User Permit (OUP) from Transport and Parking for that day. A car share team can have up to 10 free OUPs per transport year (1 OUP is equal to 1 day).
7. If there is any other reason why only one permit can be displayed (for example, because of sickness) then it is the responsibility of the car share team to inform Campus Watch on the day. If this occurs regularly then the car share permit will be reviewed, which may lead to it being revoked.
8. If a member of a car share team leaves the University then it is the responsibility of that person to inform Transport and Parking that they are leaving. This means that if there is only one person left in the car share team, the car share permit would be revoked and the remaining car share member would be required to purchase a different permit to park. The appropriate monthly salary deductions will be made accordingly.
9. If the car share team decides that they do not wish to continue to car share then they must inform Transport and Parking. Your reasons for stopping would be beneficial for the monitoring of the scheme.
