Car pooling for the planet... and for you!

A few carpooling benefits:

- Car pooling, also known as ride-sharing or lift-sharing, can save you big bucks on gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, oil resources and reduce all the associated nasty environmental impact associated with driving...
- According to Sightline Institute, the average car with a single driver emits 1.10 lbs of carbon dioxide per mile. When you carpool, an average car with three passengers naturally decreases that number by one-third - to only 0.37 lbs of carbon dioxide per mile.
- When it's not your turn to drive, you can relax and enjoy not having to deal with the stress of driving.
- With fewer cars on the road, traffic congestion in your community will be decreased.
- Meet new people and socialize!
