What is SchoolPool?
SchoolPool is a program that helps parents and high schoolers find a carpool to and from
school using a secure online ridematching system. SchoolPool is administered by RideFinders,
the St. Louis region’s rideshare program. There are no costs for school districts and the
ridematching program is free for parents and students.
