Introducing Casual Carpool on US 36
Students, faculty and staff who commute to campus via U.S. 36 now have a new carpool option via the Waze Carpool app.Casual Carpool on US 36 brings together like-minded commuters who are looking for a fast, easy, cost-effective and commitment-free commute. It allows people who would normally drive alone to cruise past traffic in the US 36 Express Lanes for free by connecting them with two riders headed in the same direction using Waze Carpool app. Drivers can pick-up/drop-off riders at the following locations*:
- US 36 & Table Mesa Station
- US 36 & Church Ranch Station
- US 36 & Broomfield Station
- Union Station in Denver**
*As the program expands and more people are ready to casually commute, more pick-up spots will be added. Pick-up locations are designated by branded Casual Carpool on US 36 signs.
**Union Station in Denver will serve as a drop-off point in Denver. However, there is no designated parking for drivers at Union Station. There are other parking lots nearby for drivers to use.
Riders pay the federal reimbursement rate of 58 cents per mile via the app. Drivers will always receive the federal reimbursement rate for miles driven.
