Carpooling is the easiest and most flexible way to rideshare. To create a carpool, all you need do is share a ride to work with one or more friends or colleagues with similar routes and schedules.

Carpooling Tips

•  Decide who will drive and what time to meet. Most carpools rotate driving  responsibilities.

• Choose a mutually convenient meeting place. Either pick up your carpool partner at  his or her home or meet at a central location like a park-and-ride lot.

•  Discuss personal preferences. Decide ahead of time about smoking, radio stations,  eating, drinking and any other personal preferences.

•  Check your insurance coverage. Some companies offer rate reductions depending  on how often you carpool.

•  Talk to your employer. Some companies offer preferred parking and other programs  for commuters who carpool.
