BCAR Carpool Program
What is it?
With support from GO Buffalo Niagara, Buffalo Civic Auto Ramps (BCAR) is offering a Carpool Permit program for a minimum of two and a maximum of four eligible monthly parkers in good standing (or up to 15 parkers for vanpools). Program participants may ride together and split monthly parking costs with others. One access tag will be provided per account and only one car may park in the ramp daily.
Perks
- Nested parking space in convenient, lower-level ramp location.
- One BCAR daily coupon/month per participant for personal or emergency situations.
- Guaranteed Ride Home Program enrollment – emergency rides totaling $200/year & $50 per ride. Visit the Guaranteed Ride Home page for details.
How to apply
Go to the BCAR Forms page to download the Carpool Program application. Complete and submit the application form to BCAR’s office located at 255 Pearl St. Buffalo, NY 14202. It can also be emailed to jrogge@bcarparking.com. Applications can also be obtained from the BCAR office.
Completed Carpool Permit Application forms must be submitted by the 26th of each month for Carpool passes to be used the first day of the next month. Monthly parkers will use their existing access tag or can register for a tag at the BCAR office; only one car will be permitted to park in the ramp at once.
Participants are also eligible for the Part Time Monthly Parker Program which offers a reduced rate for 10 or 14 exits per month. Please feel free to contact BCAR at (716) 849-5812 with any questions or concerns.
Carpooling regularly with just one other person saves 2,000 pounds of carbon emissions each year! Plus, you can save up to 75% on parking fees together.
