CARPOOL MATCHING PLATFORM & PROGRAM SERVICES

2026-11-03

The University of Washington ( UW ) is issuing this Request for Information ( RFI ) to gather information about available technologies , platforms , and program services to support a modernized campuswide carpool matching and management program . UW serves a large and diverse community of students , faculty , and staff , and seeks to expand access to carpooling as a meaningful , equitable , and incentivized commute option for all community members UW currently offers a limited carpool parking program with approximately 60 designated carpool spaces across campus . The existing program has significant barriers to access : enrollment requires direct contact with Transportation Services staff , is primarily available to employees , and does not provide a financial benefit or verified matching service . Students face particular challenges accessing the program due to permit and payment structure limitations . The University is seeking to understand what solutions exist in the market that could help UW offer a modern , equitable , and incentive - driven carpool program . This RFI is exploratory in nature and will inform the development of a future formal procurement
