It's tough to juggle schedules and justify rising commuting costs when there are solutions out there. Sharing the job of getting kids to and from school takes some of the pressure off, reduces congestion in school zones and creates a sense of community while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
SchoolPool is an online ride-matching system and resource tool designed to assist in the creation of carpools. Modeled after the successful Michigan Rideshare Program, School Pool will connect parents with other families in order to share commuting needs. Not only will time be saved in the morning rush but participants will be reducing greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing trips to and from school, as well as reducing school-based traffic congestion (a solution that will ease both stress from parents driving to school as well as neighbors bothered by school congestion).
