Carpool Home - FAQ - Guidelines

Carpooling is an easy and flexible way to share the ride! If you're commuting to RTP, odds are you are stuck in traffic during peak hours. Taking into account the costs of gas, repairs, parking, and insurance, the American Automobile Association estimates that driving just one mile in your vehicle costs more than 56 cents! Experts estimate that you can save as much as $3,000 a year by carpooling, not to mention the hours of your time that you will save. You'll also help reduce the amount of traffic on our roads and the unhealthy air pollution they produce.

• More control over your work schedule
• Vehicle maintenance reduced
• Premium parking spaces at some RTP companies
• Possible lower insurance premiums (check with your insurance agent)
