Carpool Information

Overview

Looking for carpool or vanpool information?  Our carpool system provides more flexibility to help you find a carpool or vanpool arrangement, even if your schedule varies.  Ride matching is available free to anyone who works at, or attends, the British Columbia Institute of Technology.  You decide who to contact, and then make the specific carpool arrangements: cost, times, et cetera.

Consider the price of gas! Sign up to save money, reduce congestion delays, and help out and meet your fellow BCIT Colleagues.

After applying, you will be able to get names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of fellow commuters near you who are interested in carpooling or vanpooling to campus.  Simply call the people on your list and make the necessary arrangements.

This program is in place at most universities and colleges across Canada.  It's flexible and there's nothing to lose just by signing up.

An alternate success to carpooling is to locate a classmate who lives in your residential area.  Share the cost of commuting and parking during your school term.
