What is a Carpool Subsidy?
Carpooling is when two or more adult commuters ride together in a private automobile on a continuing basis, regardless of their relationship to each other or the cost of sharing agreements. RideShare manages a carpool-matching database to help connect people who may work for the same company and live in the same neighborhood. People also may find commuting opportunities with neighbors who work at different companies that are located only a short distance apart. How do I know if my employer offers a carpool subsidy?
