We provide you with FREE assistance concerning:

Carpooling — A group of 2 to 4 people who live and work in the same area with similar work hours, who share the use of their personal cars and/or expenses for driving to and from work or school.

Vanpooling — Groups of 7-15 people who agree to share expenses for the use of a van to drive to and from work everyday.

Guaranteed Ride Home program — A safety net for those commuters registered with Share A Ride to ensure that no one who shared a ride to work is left without transportation home in the event of an emergency or unexpected overtime.

Park and Ride Lots — Area locations where you can park your car and catch the bus or meet your carpool partners.

Commuter Choice — Tax information you and your employer should know about that could be saving you money every year.

Carpooling helps reduce:

• Gas and oil expenses
• Maintenance and repair costs
• Wear and tear on your vehicle

Pooling on a regular basis can save you $1,000 or more each year!

Besides the benefits of saving money through car or vanpools, individuals help the environment. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency states that vehicle emissions account for 45% of ground-level ozone. Ground-level ozone forms when pollutants react with sunlight and heat. When we prevent pollution by making slight changes in our driving, refueling, and household maintenance activities, we significantly reduce ozone-forming pollution.
