Carpooling helps beat gridlock and more!

SAVE money. REDUCE vehicle emissions. PROTECT the environment!

Join Commander Carpool SM and Let Us Match You to a Carpool Today!

RideFinders provides you with a customized personal Matchlist of interested commuters in your area that share similar work locations and hours. We match your commute information to those listed in our database. If we are able to match you, we provide you with the commuter's name and phone number so you can call them and set-up a carpool.

How do I get my carpool matches?

It's easy!

• Register. It only takes a few minutes!
• Or call 804-643-7433.
• When you call, have the following information ready: Name, complete home and work telephone numbers and addresses with zip codes, employer's name, and work hours.

It's FREE to find a match.

Our carpool matching services are free of charge; however, when you join a carpool there may be costs involved such as gas, parking, and tolls. Many carpoolers who share the driving don't exchange money. Other carpools share the cost of driving. These arrangements are up to the individuals in the carpool.

Benefits of Carpooling:

• Economical. Save money on commuting expenses including gas, tolls, and parking.
• Eco-friendly. Improve air quality by reducing vehicle emissions.
• Flexible. Carpool everyday or three days a week. Choose the option that works best for you.
• Convenient. The Emergency Ride Home program provides a safety net in the event of an emergency or having to work late for registered commuters who carpool at least three days a week.

Carpooling is flexibility. You choose which option works for you and your fellow carpoolers:

• Short or long term carpooling
• Two or three days a week
• Carpool everyday
• Use NuRide

Driving arrangements depend on the individual carpool.

• Share the driving/riding. In some cases, carpoolers take turns doing the driving in his/her own car.
• Driver only. Some carpools have one main driver and the others are only passengers.
• Rider only. Specify that you wish to join a carpool as a passenger only.

Commander Carpool SM, Mrs. Match SM, and Team Ridefinders SM thank you for carpooling!
