Rideshare
Ridesharing saves you money and time – and reduces your impact on the environment!
Ridesharing has several advantages over driving alone. Perhaps most importantly, it saves you money. Rideshare is an easy way to reduce air pollution, too. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, single-occupancy vehicles account for 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
Did you know that a typical Memphis household spends $13,000 annually on transportation?
Ridesharing saves time by allowing you to use a designated HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane and bypass traffic congestion. And, as a passenger, you control how you use your drive-free time. You can get a head start on your workday by catching up on emails, news and events, relax, read, or connect with friends on social media.
Getting started is easy. You can connect with friends or colleagues to create your own carpool or vanpool or visit Memphis Area RideShare to connect with like-minded commuters in your area.
