About Rideshare
Share the ride in a carpool or vanpool
It’s a simple idea: Two people who normally drive alone instead share the ride. That cuts in HALF the gas, parking expense, cars on the road and exhaust going into the air. If there are three or four people in the carpool, everything gets reduced even more.
In addition, carpoolers can also use freeway express lanes, qualify for the Guaranteed Ride Home program and may qualify for free or reduced-price parking, depending on their work or school location.
If you want to share the ride, Metro Transit can help match you with others who travel the same direction and time. Before you join a carpool, read the tips for a successful and worry-free rideshare experience.
