Carpool /Vanpool Parking Discount Program

The CommuteInfoSM program is pleased to announce a carpool/vanpool parking discount program which is available to our registered carpools and vanpools. The first 50 groups to sign up will be eligible to receive this special parking discount on a space available basis.

How does the pilot program work?

  • Commuters who either car or vanpool register their “pool” with the CommuteInfo program (how can you register?)
  • CommuteInfo program staff will assign the group an ID number and inform them about the parking discount program
  • If the carpool or vanpool group decides to participate, CommuteInfo program staff will enroll them in the program and forward the name of the new participant to ALCO
  • The carpool or vanpool group will contact ALCO (via their website www.alcoparking.com) to arrange for payment and to receive their lease card

What is the commitment of the car or vanpool group?

  • Sharing a ride to work & registering their car/vanpool with the CommuteInfo program (registration can be done by emailing or calling CommuteInfo program staff at 1-888-819-6110)
  • Paying for their parking lease at least one month in advance via ALCO’s website www.alcoparking.com using a credit or debit card only - - it is a month to month commitment
    Please note, depending on the parking facility, there may also be an additional refundable deposit required for the card key.
  • Parking in the designated lot or garage

What is the discount?

Each eligible car or vanpool will receive a discount of 20% off the regular parking lease rate (regular monthly pricing submit to change). When registering with ALCO, the commuter would indicate in the Notes Section that they are part of the CommuteInfo discount program.

Which parking facilities will be included?

  • Manor Complex Garage (564 Forbes Avenue, clearance 6’1’’)
  • Eleventh and Waterfront Lot (1101 Etna St., surface lot)…access to free shuttle into downtown Pittsburgh
  • General Robinson, Lot 6 (100 W General Robinson St, surface lot)…access to free shuttle into downtown Pittsburgh

As of January 2008, the regular and discounted monthly rates would be:

  • Manor Complex Garage – regular monthly rate $185, discounted monthly rate $148
