Encourage Carpooling This Rainy Season

With rainy weather settling in, now is the perfect time to encourage your employees to consider carpooling. Not only does carpooling help reduce traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions, but it also fosters a sense of community among coworkers. Plus, sharing rides can make rainy commutes more enjoyable and convenient!

To help your employees find carpool connections, Get There Connect offers a user-friendly tool called Rideboard. It's easy and totally free! Here’s how to use it:

How to Find Carpool Connections on Get There Connect:
1. Sign up or log in to Get There. 
2. Click "Dashboard."
3. Find "Upcoming Rideboard Trips" on the right and click "View All."
4. Click "Post a Ride" and fill in the details.
- Under "Trip Interest," select "Passenger Only" if you're looking for a ride or "Driver Only" if you want to offer a ride.
- If you're flexible, select "Driver or Passenger."
5. If you find a trip match, send the user a message to connect.
- Your message will be emailed to them and they can reply directly to your email address.
- Hosting an initial in-person meeting can help ensure that carpoolers feel comfortable and secure with one another. 

Check if there are posted rides: See if someone is already looking for a ride or offering one.
Help spread the word. The more people using Rideboard, the better it works!
