Carpool to a Better Commute

A carpool is two or more commuters who share the ride to work or college using their personal vehicles. If a commuter does not have a vehicle or is unable drive, he or she gives gas money to the commuter who drives.

1. Find a ride in a carpool by registering with RideFinders free ridematching service.
2. Upon registration, receive a “matchlist” of commuters with similar commutes to yours.
3. Contact these commuters to discuss forming a carpool using these questions:

  • Frequency: How many days and which days will you carpool?

  • Driving: Who will drive and when? Will you take turns or will one person do it all?

  • Timing: What time will we leave for work or college for home each day?

  • Places: Where will we meet to leave for work or college? When you register to find a ride, you can also find a Park & Ride Lot to meet at and obtain directions.

  • Rules: Will smoking or eating be allowed? What radio stations will we listen to?

  • Costs: How much will non-driving commuters pay?
4. If you are able to form a carpool, submit a free carpool registration with RideFinders to receive the Guaranteed Ride Home and other carpool benefits.
5. If you are unable to form a carpool, return to Step 1 to log-in to RideFinders free ridematching service to modify your registration and/or obtain a new matchlist.
