Tips for Successful Ridesharing
1. Determine your route and schedule, establish the morning pickup point(s) and place(s) for the trip home.
2. Draw up a schedule for driving responsibilities. If all members alternate driving, decide if you want to rotate on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
3. Establish a method for reimbursing driving expenses. Come to an understanding of how costs will be shared and agree on payment dates.
4. Be punctual. Decide on how long the driver is expected to wait.
5. Establish policies. Smoking or Nonsmoking, music and volume, food and drinks. You will have more success if possible irritants are discussed.
6. Make carpooling serve its purpose. It is for work and school commuting, do not let it become a shopping or errand service.
7. Establish a chain of communication. If a driver is ill, or not going to work, an alternate driver should be notified immediately to ensure that other members will have a ride.
8. Drive carefully and keep the vehicle in good repair. This includes keeping the vehicle clean and safe with other passengers involved.
9. Respect your fellow ridesharers' wishes, especially in the morning when some people need quiet time.
10. If you lose a member of your carpool, change your ride status in AlterNetRides to OPEN for help in finding a replacement.
