Carpool to Work

Carpooling is two or more people sharing the ride, usually taking turns driving their own vehicles. By carpooling to work, not only can you reduce the stress of fighting traffic everyday, but you can save thousands of dollars a year on car maintenance, wear and tear, and gasoline. And, carpoolers not only bypass the gas pump—they can also cruise past traffic in time-saving carpool lanes where on average commuters save 36 minutes a day. Discover just how much money you can save by using our commute cost calculator.

Also, use our on-line ridematching service, CommuteSmart.info to get an instant list of potential carpool partners – people who live and work near you and have a similar schedule. It’s free and only takes a few minutes to register. Or, you can get carpool matching information instantly by calling 1.800.COMMUTE, and selecting the “rideshare” option. We’ll also put it all in writing for you with a RideGuide, an individualized commute planner that details your commute options.
