 Carpooling
|
Try picking someone up before you go out.
Share a ride with a friend. It's nice to have a co- pilot, plus you'll save money and the air.
Ride sharing is a great way to make driving more enjoyable, whether you're going out on the town or going to work. You'll save money, too. And if all drivers doubled up, it would reduce traffic congestion and pollution substantially.
Carpooling is the easiest, least expensive, and most common ridesharing arrangement around! Car-poolers make their own schedule, save a lot of money on gasoline and vehicle maintenance, and often arrive at their destinations sooner because they can take advantage of carpool lanes on the freeway! Carpooling is also a great way to reduce pollution. What are YOU waiting for? Form a carpool today!
