Whether you’re a busy mom like me or someone who has to battle traffic just to get to work each day – consider carpooling. It’s an ideal way to Do Your Part because it cuts down on air pollution and expenses.

Have you even calculated what your commute costs? There are online calculators which factor in your work days, the miles you drive, your car’s fuel economy, the current price of gas, and even parking costs.

Now that you know what you’re really spending on driving – figure out how to save money and a whole lot of time. There are dozens of websites for creating carpool schedules with people you know from school or work. They’ll even email you reminders when it’s your turn to drive. Most have Facebook pages to make it even more convenient.

And of course – there’s an app for it! In fact, there are many carpool apps that are perfect for families, co-workers, and even people looking to share a ride across the country.

The benefits are big. You’ll help get more cars off the road, use less gas, and there’s less wear and tear on your car.
