Carpool will connect you with other people going to the same place, and it's safer because you can view other people's profiles before deciding who to travel with. Everyone saves money and you might meet someone interesting in the process! All of the greenhouse gas savings are tracked, so Carpool can measure the total reductions made by each campus, and you can even link the app to your Facebook events. This type of program gets better the more people who use it, so sign up, post your next trip, and invite friends using Carpool's handy invite tool!
