Gohio Commute

Cleveland Clinic recognizes that environmental health and human health are inherently linked, and

the mode of transportation choice our more than 51,000 caregivers make on their daily commutes

impacts the air quality of Northeast Ohio.

Gohio Commute’s employer landing page and dashboard allows caregivers to track their daily

commuting habits and offers information on transportation options in Northeast Ohio. Caregivers can

connect with other caregivers within the same region, city, or neighborhood to help increase

transportation mode-shift away from SOV (single occupancy vehicle) to more sustainable

alternatives such as carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, or biking. This tool provides the best

transportation options for your daily commute, tracks activity, and promotes challenges and

engagement events which can lead to significant time and budget savings.

Carpool Program

Each carpool may have up to four members. Once you identify the members of your carpool, please

submit an online carpool registration request. Click HERE for the registration form.

Carpool Parking Assignments:

All Carpool Members will be assigned to the same on-campus employee parking garage (based on

availability). Each member will be granted access to the assigned garage (either their ID badge or

AVI sticker).

Exceptions:

If a carpool member cannot ride with the carpool for some reason, that member may drive their own

vehicle that day and park in their carpool assignment. Each carpool team is allowed 4 exceptions

per month before they will be charged a fee. If more than 4 exceptions occur, every member of the

carpool will be charged an additional $8 per person per occurrence.

Payment of Parking Fee:

The total fee charged is the full time monthly rate for the assigned area. The fee will be divided

among the carpool members and will be payroll deducted for Cleveland Clinic employees or pre-paid

on a monthly basis for contracted employees (T & C numbers). For example, if the carpool is

assigned to the 89th St. Employee Garage the $65/monthly fee is divided as follows:

Cleveland Clinic Foundation 9500 Euclid Ave Document Last Updated:

2 members = $32.50 per month

3 members = $21.66 per month

4 members = $0 per month

NOTE: The discount for low emission and fuel efficient vehicles does not apply to carpools.

Contracted employees (T numbers) must pre-pay for their parking according to the current

Contractor Parking Policy (see HR #581).

Default Privileges:

All members of the carpool will have automatic night/weekend/holiday default privileges on their ID

Badge or AVI sticker. Please see attached map for details.

Cleveland Clinic Parking LEED Discount

Parking Services, in partnership with the Office for a Healthy Environment, sponsors a parking

discount program for employees whose vehicles qualify through the national green cars program.

Anyone registered in the Cleveland Clinic Parking Program who drives a vehicle with a Leadership in

Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) score above 45 is eligible to apply for the 20% discount.

To see if your vehicle qualifies, please visit www.greenercars.org and select GREENER CARS

RATINGS.

Clean Vehicle Incentive

Cleveland Clinic is offering incentives for the purchase (not a lease) of a new or used SmartWay

Elite qualifying vehicles. We hope that offering these incentives plus discounted parking will help

make the financial case for going green.

Incentives are first-come, first-served until exhausted.

How to Register and Renew Annually:

Please bring the following to the Parking Services Office to apply for the discount:

1. LEED Discount Registration Form

2. Current vehicle registration

3. Vehicle insurance documentation

All three (3) documents must be presented at time of registration.

Am I Eligible?

The incentive is available to any full-time employee in the system with one year of service at time of

purchase (not leased). The vehicle must be properly registered as the caregiver's primary mode of

transportation with Parking Services where applicable. Caregivers must apply for the incentive within

3 months of purchasing the vehicle. Only purchases made in that calendar year qualify for the

Incentive Program. See the application form below for additional requirements.

Is My Vehicle Eligible?

Not all hybrid vehicles are SmartWay Elite. Find out if your vehicle purchase qualifies as a US EPA

SmartWay Elite vehicle. The Elite designation is only awarded to the best environmental

performers. Keep this in mind when searching the Green Vehicle Guide.

How to Apply:

Complete the Clean Vehicle Incentive Form. Please submit your form to the contact person listed

on the form within three months of vehicle purchase (leases are not eligible). As a reminder,

incentives are first-come, first-served until incentives are exhausted.

TIP: Mention Cleveland Clinic’s Clean Vehicle Purchase Incentive Program when you purchase,

since a few local dealerships are offering additional incentives. Also check out the Advantage

Zone for dealerships advertising discounts for our employees.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations

Cleveland Clinic offers EV charging stations and preferred parking at our 89

Street main campus

(MM) garage.

Expectant Mother Parking

Cleveland Clinic Parking Services provides Expectant Mother parking spaces throughout our Main

Campus both in patient and employee parking facilities. For assistance or specific locations, please

call a Parking Services Consultant at 216-444-2255.

Patient/Visitor Options:

Expectant Mother reserved spaces are located on the lower levels, closest to the elevators, in each

patient parking area. There are also seven convenient valet locations available for patient and visitor

use.

Employee Options:

Expectant Mother Spaces are located closest to the elevators, in most employee parking areas.

Employees must register with the Parking Services Office for an Expectant Mother parking

pass. Please utilize the following link and fill out our Expectant Mother Registration Form. Once

this form is completed by the employee, a Parking Services Consultant will issue a credential and

will advise on the exact parking location for the duration of the pregnancy. The Expectant Mother

credential will allow the employee to park in a designated area in their current assigned lot. If the

employee is in their ninth month, or if it is a high-risk pregnancy, other accommodations can be

made by the Consultant. Expectant Mother reserved spaces in employee areas are marked “permit

only.”

Group Accounts

Non-main Campus departments should register with Parking Services to set-up a group account for

their employees who travel to main campus.

We ask that off-campus hospitals, FHCs, doctors, and satellite office buildings do NOT validate

employee parking when traveling to main campus. At the end of 2008, we will also be cancelling all

orange parking access cards. Instead, we ask that you set up a group account.

Cleveland Clinic Foundation 9500 Euclid Ave Document Last Updated:

A group account allows all employees within your group (you can designate which employees) to

have 24/7 access on their ID Badge to the E. 89th St (MM) Garage on main campus. When we set

up your group we will determine the approximate number of employees on main campus at any

given time in order to determine the appropriate monthly fee that will be charged to your Lawson.

Example group:

CCAC Department registers a group account with 40 employee members. It was determined that

only 4 employees would be coming to main campus at any given time, so the monthly Lawson

charge would be $200 per month for access to select employee parking locations on campus. If

more than 4 employees are on main campus at any given time, the Lawson will be charged a one-

time $8 utilization fee for each occurrence.

Please complete the Group Account Registration Form and submit to Parking Services (fax: 216-

445-5159 or mail: JJNb-230).
