Carpool
GreenTrips lets you find carpool matches from among your friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Whether it’s a trip you take every day, once a week, or only once in a while, there’s a good chance someone near you can share the ride.
When you are getting ready to start your carpool, make sure you address common concerns on the front end. These include questions like:
- How to split driving responsibilities & gas money.
- What to do if you’re running late.
Sometimes meeting in a central location can be more convenient. When thinking about where to meet, remember that CARTA has several park and ride lots available for carpooling.
One common concern with carpooling is the idea that you will be stuck at your destination if your schedule changes. Fear not—CARTA and Bike Chattanooga are just some of the ways you can add more flexibility to your day.
