Ridematch

Sharing the ride is a powerful way to reduce traffic.  To facilitate carpooling and vanpooling, the University participates in the Regional Ridematch System, which helps match drivers and riders throughout several counties.  Updated during 1999, the system now allows more flexibility in matching those with varying schedules. This feature is particularly helpful to the many students, faculty and staff members who do not work the same schedule each day. The Transportation Office mails ridematch applications several times a year in newsletters, flyers and brochures, and an online application is also available. When the application is returned to the Transportation Office, the information is entered into the Regional Ridematch System and a match list is sent to the applicant. This list now includes maps and other features to help potential ridesharers connect.
