Carpooling

Save the Earth

For every litre of petrol used, 2.3kg of carbon dioxide – a major greenhouse gas – is released. By sharing a ride, you can reduce your travel costs and help save the environment.

Free Parking

To encourage fewer cars and greenhouse gas emissions, the University offers free parking for cars bringing three or more people to the Wollongong Campus. Cars must transport all occupants to the University. Please do not pick up additional passengers on or around the Campus – this will result in a parking ban for the remainder of the session.

Where and When?

The northern section of the Western Car Park (P4) is specifically for carpool parking, from 7:30am and all day, Monday to Friday. Available all year, except public holidays and a few weeks over the summer holiday period.

Who?

Find students, staff and visitors travelling the same route and times as you on the UOW-sponsored Carpoolworld website.

Before you connect to the website, we recommend you read these few notes:

Most of the information requested by the website is optional – simply define your name (alias ok), uow email address, where you live (street name and suburb) and the times you travel. The system will look for people from your area with whom you may be able to share a ride, and contact you via email. Your email address is not given to other users.

Once you have a full complement of carpool contacts and no longer want to receive emails you can change your status to inactive.

Learn more on how to get the most out of the system and protect your privacy by reading the Safety, Privacy and Terms of Use Agreement. Unlike most such documents, this ones really quite useful.
