Links to other resources: Trent University's Sustainability Office Carpooling is a great way to take the bite out of high gas prices, get you the best value for your parking permit and ease the strain on Trent's limited parking resources. One member of your car pool must register on-line as the permit holder. You can then register all vehicles participating in the pool and select the appropriate permit. For staff and faculty, all members of a particular carpool can use their flex dollars towards the total cost of the permit. You should advise your automobile insurance carrier if you intend to carpool as it may constitute a material change to your coverage. Don't know anyone in your area who's going your way?
