Student Purchase Contract

Parking and OmniRide Bus Pass Contract

As a member of the Cornell University community, I agree to pay the published price for the pass offered to me by Transportation Services. I will comply fully with any sanctions specified by the university, should any violations occur. Should I not comply with university sanctions, or fail to comply with these terms, the university reserves the right to revoke the pass. I understand that parking restrictions or transit services may be temporarily suspended or changed due to holidays, weather conditions, special events, campus construction, or emergencies.

Parking Pass

I understand that: the purchase of a parking pass does not entitle me to a reserved space, but provides the opportunity to park in the areas where my pass is valid; it is my responsibility to notify Transportation Services when I change vehicles or license plates; the university is not liable for any damage to, or caused by, any vehicle or its operator, its occupant(s), or any other person(s) unless the damage has resulted from the negligence of an agent of the university acting in the capacity and within the scope of his or her employment. I will abide by any and all Cornell regulations relating to the operation or parking of motor vehicles on the campus.

OmniRide Pass

I understand OmniRide bus privileges are nontransferable. I understand that I must remain registered in order for CU ID privileges to remain active.

Returns, replacements, refunds

I understand that I can return the permit or discontinue OmniRide bus privileges and my prepaid fees will be refunded based on the current Transportation Services refund policy. No refunds will be given after March 31 (spring/summer).
