Whether you’re driving to work, a meeting, or even to the beach, carpooling takes one or more cars off the road. In addition, we will have less congestion on our roadways, less vehicles fighting for limited parking, and you can decrease what you’re spending on gas. Not sure who you could carpool to work with? South Florida Commuter Services can help. You can find commuters looking for carpool partners that live and work in your area by visiting the South Florida Commuter Services website and requesting a ride match.
