Who is the Ride-shar-er?

The Ride-shar-er knows that driving alone, listening to the same boring radio station is not the best way to commute. Instead, the Ride-shar-er finds different ways to get there – faster, and for less money, stress, and wear and tear on the car and the environment.

While the solo commuter is dumping 9.1 pounds of hydrocarbons, 62.5 pounds of carbon monoxide, and 4.9 pounds of nitrogen oxides into our environment each year, the Ride-shar-er is zipping through traffic in the carpool lane, making new friends on buses, vanpools and trains, and staying fit by riding a bike or walking to work.

Be the Ride-shar-er

They bank more money. Do the math yourself: a single person commuting by bus, train or vanpool, instead of driving alone, can save 200 gallons of gasoline a year. The average price of gas today is $3.75 a gallon, which means the Ride-shar-er can save as much as $750 on gas alone — and much more when you factor in maintenance and parking!
