Don’t spend all of your free time searching for the best price on gas. Southwestern PA residents looking for effective ways to keep more gas money in their pockets might be able to find some extra time as well. Whether commuting locally or long distances, CommuteInfo reminds you that sharing the drive to work not only helps cut commute costs, but can mean a smoother ride to work by traveling in HOV lanes or in buses (on the bus lanes) during peak commuting hours – saving you time.
CommuteInfo would like to see more commuters utilizing its online tools to help find transit information, as well as vanpool and carpool partners. Go to www.commuteinfo.org and complete a commuter profile. Just enter an origin, destination, and commute times and you will get a list of individuals who may be willing to carpool or vanpool to work.
CommuteInfo promotes regional commuter ridesharing initiatives by reaching out to area employers, transit providers, professional organizations, and current and potential ridesharers. The goal of the program is to provide viable options, incentives and encouragement for employers to promote ridesharing and to help commuters choose ridesharing at least twice a week.
CommuteInfo partners with other agencies to offer a wide range of services to employers and commuters within the region, including a toll free number for information and referrals, telecommuting resources, vanpool/carpool rider matching, transit/biking/walking resources, park and ride lot maps, and transportation resource fair lists. For more information about CommuteInfo and ridematching, please visit www.commuteinfo.org. |
