The Benefits of Carpooling

The Benefits of Carpooling

by admin / Wednesday, 29 June 2011 / Published in Road Safety

Carpooling or ridesharing has many benefits for both you and the environment. Carpool with friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to share transportation. Carpooling saves you and others money on gas, car care and maintenance. Carpooling also cuts down on the amount of cars on the road. Sharing transportation and carpooling is a great idea that you can benefit from.

More benefits of carpooling are listed below:

–          Fewer cars, fewer crashes, safer driving

–          Less traffic congestion and less road rage

–          Fewer cars on the road means less car emissions and less impact on the environment

–          Shared cost of transportation

–          Travel with people you know and trust

–          No need to use public transportation

–          Creates community among the people who share a car or carpool together

–          Save money on the cost of transportation and car expenses

–          When it’s not your turn to drive, you can relax and enjoy not having to deal with the stress of driving

–          You can also take advantage of the carpool lane (HOV) offered in many large cities

–          Save money on parking fees

–          Meet new people and socialize

Consider some of the environmental impact factors driving your car has:

–          It is expected that the number of cars and trucks on already crowded highways will double in the next 30 years

–          The Average American spends 434 hours – 18 days – in his/her car each year

–          Driving your car 20,800 miles a year emits 23,600 lbs of CO2

–          Every car annually emits its own weight in carbon dioxide (CO2)

–          Cut 25 miles a week from your driving and save 1,500 lbs of CO2

–          The US could save 33 million gallons of gas – each day – if the average vehicle carried one additional person
