Australia's First Regional Carpool Network |
|
|
|
|
 Australia’s first government funded regional carpooling initiative, designed to link compatible drivers and passengers via the web, commences this week. The Northern Rivers Carpool Project will be announced to the community at 11.00am on Thursday, 18 February, 2010 at the John Crowther Carpark on the corner of Dawson and Woodlark Streets, Lismore. The project aims to create a network of commuters, from Tweed to Clarence who have similar travel patterns, to share their travel time and reduce travelling costs. “Most cars on the roads have only a SINGLE occupant”, said Northern Rivers Carpool Coordinator Gillian Edwards, “so it makes sense to share the journey by filling up the car seats.” “It’s also a great way to make new friends and even halve weekly fuel bills”, she said. The Carpool Project is a FREE and easy web-based service that matches travel details of like commuters. The website is located at www.nrcarpool.org. Just follow the links.
