Carpooling and car-sharing

Carpooling

As part of its Mobility Plan, the EPFL offers its community various shared mobility services: the fairmove carpooling platform and several Mobility self-service vehicles.

Carpooling

In order to further promote carpooling on campus and better share parking, Sustainability EPFL and the EPFL Innovation Park are making available the fairmove carpooling platform, which enables drivers to get in touch with each other.

Some 81% of people who commute to EPFL by car are alone in their vehicles. According to our transportation survey, carpooling would be the preferred alternative when drivers don’t have access to a personal vehicle.

Carpoolers to EPFL will need to work out how to share commuting costs among themselves. Neither the MyCamipro payment app nor the Fairmove website can be used to manage payment-related issues. Carpoolers may decide that a non-monetary form of compensation is more appropriate, like buying the driver a meal, a for example.

In the event of cancellation (up to 12 hours before departure), EPFL will reimburse a maximum of CHF 20 per person (maximum CHF 60 per month).
