School Pool

Find neighbors to form school carpools using our automated matching. Save time and money, reduce traffic congestion and protect the environment.
Traffic Solutions, the County rideshare agency, operates a web-based rideshare matching service that has helped thousands of locals search for carpool partners to get to work. Now you can use our automated matching to find carpool matches with other parents and students who are making the drive to your school. 
 
Helpful Hints
  •  If you don’t find a match, check back a week later and continue to do so as new users enter the system. Remember, this is a new service and everyone is in the process of signing up.

  • This service only displays your first name and an anonymous way of contacting you through our website email. However, once you choose to email someone, they will see your email address upon receipt of your email correspondence.

  • You are in charge of talking with other parents and meeting beforehand to determine if you are comfortable having your child ride with them and vice versa.

  • Questions can be directed to Traffic Solutions at 963-SAVE or info@trafficsolutions.info.
