Carpool

Discounts are offered at City-owned garages for carpool permits. One permit is issued per carpool group for use at one garage.  Corporate or company account holders are not eligible for carpool discounts. All carpool members are subject to the terms of the carpool agreement. 

Discount requirements

  • All carpool members must be able to verify that their employment is within the downtown core area bounded by E Street to the north, R Street to the south, 21st Street to the east, and the Sacramento River to the west. 
  • All members must live/reside outside the above area. A carpool is two or more commuters traveling together at least three days per week (Monday-Friday) to work in the downtown area. 
  • Applicants must reside within a reasonable proximity to the other carpool rider’s residence or travel route. 
  • Each commuter in the carpool must pay for their own portion of the permit with a separate form of payment. 
  • To apply: All members of the carpool must be together at the Revenue Division during counter hours with their photo ID and separate portion of payment to apply for the carpool discount. The application is only available at the Revenue counter. 

Carpool payments

Paying by mail or Revenue drop-off box: Monthly payments must be submitted in the same envelope with each participant's name, facility name, and permit number clearly written on their respective checks.

AutoPay: If one member of the carpool utilizes the AutoPay (credit card deduction) option, then all members must also use that option for their own portion of the payment.

Paying in-person at counter: All members of the carpool must be present at the same time to pay their portion of the fee and present their California driver’s license. No members of the carpool may pay on behalf of another member.
