Think it’s difficult to find a carpool? Not only is it easy, we’ve got four ways for you to do it:
Scoop: The Scoop app arranges ride-by-ride carpools for morning and afternoon commute periods, Monday through Friday. Indicate your origin, destination and departure time before the pre-commute deadline, and the app will match you with one or more people headed your way.
511.org’s Ridematch Page: Create an account with 511’s Ridematch Service, and it will use your commute information to match you with a regular carpool.
Waze Carpool: With the Waze Carpool app you can choose the people you want to carpool with based on detailed profiles, star ratings, and filters like same-gender & coworkers only. As with Scoop, there is no long-term commitment – each carpool is booked separately. Unlike Scoop, Waze Carpool allows you to plan more than one commute period ahead. In fact, you can arrange your carpools for the entire week.
Connect Using Nextdoor: Nextdoor is a social networking service which allows you to easily connect with the people in your neighborhood. Once you’ve created an account, it’s easy to post to Nextdoor and ask if anyone sharing a commute similar to yours would be interested in carpooling.
