Carpooling

BIW encourages carpooling for all employees. BIW provides carpool permit parking in Lot A. Employees must have a BIW-issued carpool permit and four riders to a carpool to park in Lot A.  If you are interested in applying for a BIW carpool, email biwparking@gdbiw.com or reach out to the parking program manager. There may be a waitlist for carpool permit openings.

You can also find a carpool by signing up for GO MAINE.

Vanpools
