Drivers also must purchase and display a regular ACC parking permit. (Green car spaces are limited; a permit does not guarantee a preferred spot.)

Preferred parking also is available for registered carpool members. Interested drivers and riders must complete an online application. Approved vehicles will receive a carpool tag.
