The theme for WED 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.

This year’s host is Mexico which reflects the growing role of the Latin American country in the fight against climate change, including its growing participation in the carbon markets.

Come Join us to fight Global Warming on World Environment Day and say yes to Car Pooling!

There are lots of great ways to find carpool partners. Click Here to search for ads posted in this website with the database of hundreds of interested carpoolers. You’ll receive a match list with the names and contact information of those persons who match your commute pattern (home addresses are never included on the match lists and home numbers may be excluded as well.) Just contact the names on that list and make your carpool arrangements. If you don't find a match, you can post a new ad.

You can contact co-workers and neighbors. Or post a sign in on your car window or on bulletin boards at work.

Be sure to call everyone whose name you receive. Their hours may be flexible. They may be willing to meet you at a convenient pick-up point. And best of all, they may know other people interested in carpooling!

Advantages & Disadvantages of Carpooling

2009-04-02T09:06:00.000-07:00

Advantages :

Carpool participants save money by sharing the cost of driving one car. Driving one car saves on gasoline,tolls, parking and vehicle maintenance.
Carpool lane available.
Carpools decongest roads.
Carpools reduce pollution and carbon dioxide emissions thereby reducing global warming.
Carpools reduces driving-related stress for participants who are not driving on a specific ride. The participants take turns sharing their vehicles and driving with others.
Carpools may provide social connections in an increasingly disconnected society. New online carpooling services are offering new ways to make social connections through discussion sites and custom ridesharing services.
Some larger carpools offer "sweeper services" of late pick-up options for people having to stay longer at work. One form of backup is a "guaranteed ride home" arrangement with a local taxi company.
There are designated carpool lanes on highways (usually called High-Occupancy Vehicle, or HOV lanes), which may make travel faster. Some businesses offer premier parking for carpoolers, and finding a spot to park one car is always easier than finding a spot for more.
In the "dynamic ridesharing" concept the system does one-to-one matching automatically, and all that both, the driver and passenger have to do is accept the match done by the system.
Disadvantages :

Drivers carry the additional burden of potential legal action from passengers in case of an accident.
When carpooling, it becomes difficult to run errands on the way to and from the common locations.
Tends to be complicated to reliably organize and is difficult to maintain, due to changing travel patterns and needs. Sign mark locations outside of their metro stops and large bus stations where drivers can share rides with other passengers in an orderly fashion

Carpooling

Carpooling (also known as car-sharing, ride-sharing, lift-sharing), is the shared use of a car, especially for commuting to work, often by people who each have a car but travel together to save cost and to promote other socio-environmental benefits. In some locations, there are special facilities intended to encourage carpooling such as designated pick-up points and high-occupancy vehicle lanes which only allow cars with multiple riders at certain times of the day.

Carpool projects have been around in a structured form since the mid-1970s and have recently begun to more extensively use the Internet and other software support systems. With the recent advent of mobile phones and SMS, there is a push to integrate these technologies into more flexible systems on the internet.
