Parking Benefits for Carpoolers
Many employers and cities offer benefits for carpoolers!
In the city of Madison the following ramps offer carpool privileges:
Capital Square North Ramp, Government East Ramp, Overture Center Ramp and the State Street Capital Ramp
In Madison, carpoolers are immediately entitled to a monthly parking space in these ramps except the State Street Capitol Ramp. (Carpoolers have precedence on State Street Capitol Ramp’s waiting list but, due to space limitations, immediate occupancy is not possible.) Eligible, non-City Residents pay the discounted, resident monthly rate.
