Introduction

Those who have a long-term “A,” “C,” or motorcycle parking permit have four options to participate in the 2012 permit-return promotion. In addition to up to $300 per year in Clean Air Cash or Carpool Credit, this promotion offers a “bonus” reward of $100, $75, $50, or $25 to eligible commuters for returning their long-term Stanford parking permit and switching to alternative transportation. A longer commitment receives a higher reward.

How the permit-return promotion works

• Return a long-term “A,” “C,” or motorcycle permit before 5 p.m. by one of the deadlines indicated in the "Deadlines to participate" section.
• Remain in the Commute Club for two, three, four, or five months.
• Receive the reward amount that corresponds with the consecutive months you remain in the Commute Club. Participants are eligible for the $100, $75, $50, or $25 reward, not for all or a combination of the incentive amounts.

Things you should know before you return your permit

• Important notes about returning your permit
  • If the permit is returned after the first of the month, there will be no refund for that month.
  • Depending on the payment method, future payments will be stopped or a refund will be issued for remaining months of the permit.
  • Please note that you must return the permit and sign a form at our office to stop future payments or request a refund for future months.
• Timing of Commute Club Enrollment
  You may enroll in the Commute Club at any time. However, you will receive Clean Air Cash or Carpool Credit for the current month in which you are enrolling only if you will be using alternative transportation for more than half of the month.
• We can help. If you need assistance determining the best timing for returning your permit and enrolling in the Commute Club, please send an email to [email protected].
