Carpooling is an easy and flexible way to share the ride. If you're a Triangle commuter, odds are you are stuck in traffic during peak hours. Why not share the ride? Wouldn't commuting be more fun if you shared it with a friend?

Taking into account the costs of gas, repairs, parking, and insurance, the American Automobile Association estimates that driving just one mile in your vehicle costs more than 56 cents. Experts estimate that you can save as much as $3,000 a year by carpooling, not to mention the hours of your time you will save.

You'll also help reduce the amount of traffic on our roads and the unhealthy air pollution produced. Vehicles account for a significant percentage of air pollution and energy consumption.
