Sometimes it's not possible to walk, cycle or take public transit to campus, so here are some great options to make driving to UVic more sustainable.
EVO
Evo is a car share program that allows you to pick up a car near you, keep it for as long as you want and then drop it off in any location within the Home Zone in Victoria and Vancouver.
Simply download the Evo app to find a car near you, unlock the doors, hit the road, and park easily.

Modo 
UVic has a Partnership Membership with Modo! As a member through the UVic carshare program, you also have access to all the cars in Modo fleet around Greater Victoria and Metro Vancouver.
As a Member-Owner (individual plan Modo Plus rates) in the carshare program, you can use Modo's 24-hour online booking system to reserve a vehicle. When finished, just return the car to the same location.

Rates and qualifications:
UVic will pay the membership fee (a value of $500) for qualifying employees and FSH students, and you pay the regular usage fees (Modo Plus rates).

There is no additional charge to use the EV stations beyond the cost of parking. The EV stations have a 90-minute maximum. When using an EV station, make sure you have paid for general parking ($2.00 per hour).

Rather than buying an Annual Parking Permit and driving to campus each day, try the Flex 25 bundle and commit to using alternative transportation options for some of your commutes.
The Flex 25 bundle is a collection of 25 daily single-use General Parking permits with no expiry date. There is no limit to how many can be purchased in a year. Users receive a code to be used at a parking dispenser to obtain parking for the desired day.
The Flex 25 permit bundle costs $150. Visit the Campus Security website to learn more, or purchase your permits online.
Do you need a vehicle occasionally for university business? Campus Security maintains a Motor Pool Fleet available for rental by UVic employees. Vehicle options include Dodge Caravans (seating up to 8 including driver) as well as a 1 ton cube van. They are available for short or long term rentals. For more information call 250-721-6557 and see Campus Security.
Motorcycle and scooter drivers are required to purchase parking permits and park in the designated motorcycle parking areas found in most lots. See the Parking Map for details.
