How to use RideFlag
The driver and the riders will need to take a verification scan to confirm the number of commuters in the car. Reminder: The driver is required to have a valid UM parking permit. Once you arrive on campus, you will be asked to do a re-verification scan of the commuters once more. Once this has been confirmed, you will receive confirmation granting your access to parking in the zone where you wish to park on campus. Once you leave the parking zone, your parking session will end.
In the event of an Emergency?
Make sure you enroll in the Emergency Ride Home (ERH) program through this link and receive 6 ERH vouchers when you register your carpool. Carpools must be renewed each year.
