Annual Recertification:
SDOT is required to periodically recertify your carpool. We will email the forms to you at the annual recertification time.
Other Carpool Options: Many other garages that are not part of the city’s carpool program provide special carpool rates and accommodations – we encourage you to check with the garage of your choice to inquire about their carpool options.
