Alternative Transportation Incentive Program (ATIP)

The Alternative Transportation Incentive Program's (ATIP) intention is to decrease the number of Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOVs) on the road, reduce campus congestion, and contribute to an improvement of air quality. ATIP also seeks to accommodate alternative commuters who must occasionally drive to campus or make an emergency trip home.

The following are recognized forms of alternative commuting approved by the University:

• Carpooling
• Bus or Train Commuting
• Walking, Biking, Skateboarding
• Ridesharing (Uber, Lyft, Taxi)
• Combination of any of the Above

ATIP participation is available to any LMU community member committed to alternative commuting and who meets the following criteria:

1. Is currently a student, faculty, staff or affiliate of LMU
2. Has zero unpaid parking citations
3. Has not purchased a parking permit (carpool permits exempt)
4. Does not have a current housing assignment on campus
5. Has submitted a completed the ATIP Enrollment Form

Applicants must complete the ATIP Enrollment Form online or in-person at the Parking Office. Once the ATIP Consent Form has been processed by Parking Office staff, a confirmation email will be sent with detailed instructions. Memberships do not automatically carry-over and must be renewed each semester.

Enrollment Dates

Participants must re-enroll each semester in order to receive a validation code. Fall programming runs from August 1 through the end of December. Spring programming begins on January 1 and runs until the end of May. The Summer begins June 1 and ends July 31.

Benefits

ATIP participants receive certain exclusive benefits as members beyond simply saving money on parking fees, gasoline, insurance and maintenance. A few of our current benefits include complementary parking for one-off occasions and automatic enrollment into our Guaranteed Ride Home Program.

Rainy Day Passes

Receive complementary parking validation codes for emergencies or the rare occasion when you need your vehicle on campus. Enrollees receive up to 5 free codes per semester and up to 3 codes during summer terms I and II.

Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH)

Participants are eligible for 2 rides home by Taxi or Rideshare (Uber and Lyft) in the event of an emergency each year. Participants are responsible for submitting receipts and documentation for reimbursement. Visit the Metro Rideshare webpage for more information.
