Find a Fellow Carpooler

Many people want to do their part to reduce pollution by carpooling, but it can be difficult to find other commuters near you that also want to carpool. A new service called RideSearch.com offers commuters a way to connect with other people traveling to the same or similar location and interested in carpooling. RideSearch began operation in January of 2008 and is quickly gaining buzz about its unique service. There are many benefits of carpooling. The average commuter knows gas prices are steadily climbing and are predicted to go even higher. Carpooling empowers you the commuter not to be at the mercy of the gas pump and helps your pocketbook at the same time.

Here is how RideSearch works...
1) Create your personal RideSearch profile.
2) Sign up for a membership.
3) Search listings using the "Find a Ride" button.
4) Reply to other listings by checking the message center for new messages from other carpoolers.

Help RideShare spread the word about their service by doing one or more of the following.

1) Post these flyers on office bulletin boards & at apartment complexes.

2) Send emails to coworkers about carpooling with RideSearch.

3) Create blue and white street signs that say: "Carpool. RideSearch.com" & ask your city council where you can put them up.

4) Blog about the benefits of carpooling with RideSearch.com.

5) Buy magnets from our online store and stick them around gas pumps.

6) Buy t-shirts and bumper stickers from our online store and give them away.

7) Email your city council about volunteering to adopt-a-highway signs for your city and use RideSearch for the sign.

8) Add a RideSearch bookmark to your network.
