How Can I Get Into a Carpool for my Daily
Commute?
|
|
It's easy. Simply register with
Traffic Solutions Online
and instantaneously generate a list of interested carpoolers, 24
hours a day. Register and tell us about your commute
to work -- where you live, where you work and what
time you usually start and end work. You'll be able to generate a free matchlist of people who live near you, work near
you, and have similar schedules.
|
| Can
I Carpool Without a Car? |
| Sure! Traffic Solutions Online
will help you find carpool partners who have an available
vehicle. Then you can chip in some money for your
share of the driving, gas and maintenance in exchange
for a ride. |

| Should
I Carpool Every Day? |
|
Lots of people do, but even if
you can't, carpool as many days as you can. Remember,
every day of the week you carpool saves 20% -- not
just money, stress and traffic congestion -- but 20%
of the pollutants that would normally go into the
air. A great way to start is carpooling one day a
week! Review your schedule and plan on one day when
you can stick to a normal routine. |
| If
at First You Don't Succeed... |
| If you don't find anyone with
whom to
carpool the first time, don't give
up -- keep trying! Names are regularly added to Traffic
Solutions Online. |

Carpooling Tips: |
-
You don't have to carpool
everyday. Some people are interested in
carpools that are on an on-call basis, some
one or two days a week, while others prefer
carpools that have a regular schedule.
Carpools are a very flexible alternative and
can be tailored to your needs.
-
Park
& Ride Lots
are available in some locations.
-
If you feel uncomfortable
taking the first step in setting up a
carpool, call us at Traffic Solutions. We'll
answer your questions and ease your fears.
We'll call potential carpool partners for you
and make sure they are still interested. We
can even tell them to expect a call from you.
