Re: carpool

When you drive to work, are you alone or do you have room for other passengers? Have you ever noticed how many others around you are driving on their own too? In the USA, single occupant comminuting is around 75% according to census data. There are millions of us who engage in solitary travel to and from work; driving billions of miles each year, spending a stack of cash on gas and pumping tones of emissions into the atmosphere. If public transport isn’t for you and you’ve rejected the idea of carpooling in the past for whatever reasons, technology has provided more far more choice, flexibility and efficiency to the concept. Perhaps it’s time to consider it again?

Our team of management is willing to provide ideas on how to organize such event and who you can car-pool with. Some of the ideas that they can provide are where to leave your car when you car-pool they will find you a safe lot where you can meet and leave your car without worries. They will also help providing a schedule to determine who will drive and when to switch. Management will also organize a safety brochure on what to do or not to do when car-pooling. We can also try to make it a personal preferences meet such as whether you wish to be a driver or a passenger, gender preferences, smoker/non-smoker and we will even go as far as providing matching for music choices .Thought sharing a ride, you’ll meet other people. For some people, there is nothing like a little talk session before the daily grind and a counseling session immediately afterwards. You may even find it helpful by finding time to carry out other tasks during the drive by preparing for meetings and etc. .Also, take this opportunity to work with your management and getting to know them better. The other idea I have thought about is having a company bus that will pick everybody up from the car-pool lot. We will make the bus route simple and safe for you guys to ride. The bus will come every fifteen minutes to pick a group of employee and drop them either to their car or to work. This idea will save the employee time and money. You do not have to pay for parking, or even waste time looking for parking. The lot is made big and is free to park there. The lot also has lights to make sure that you are secure and your safety
