10 Tips for Successful Ridesharing

Meet with your future "poolers" before the trips. Determine morning/evening pickup points, route and time schedule. Establish a "driver schedule" which identities who drives and when. Agree on smoking, eating, drinking and music policies. Be on time. Decide, as a group, how long the driver is to wait. Establish a chain of communication to notify each other in case of illness or other changes. If a member of the group doesn't drive, determine a method for reimbursing driving expenses. Be courteous. Don't blow your horn repeatedly for your passengers. Passengers, be ready to go. Remember, conversation isn't always necessary. Some prefer to sleep or work during the ride. If you need another pooler, log in and run a new carpool list. You may also Contact us if you need additional assistance.
