  • New Idea: Carpool to the voting booths

    With today's gas prices and people just not wanting to ride anywhere the idea of carpooling to the voting booths is a good one. Use RideSearch.com to find others to carpool with on Election Day. Just put a post in our forums with your district number and what intersection you are coming from and see if you can hook up. Voting is something all Americans should do. Let your voice be heard.

    RideSearch Carpool Contest Finishes this Month

Our winners will be posted here after the contest is over.

    The "New Rideshare Forums" are RideSearch's latest way to help people find someone to carpool. They are meant to be used whenever you have a ride to give or need a ride to anywhere imaginable. The forums are for a community of people who want to save money on gas and help the environment. Wherever you go, think, "can I post this trip on RideSearch?" and you may save a lot more than just gas. 

    RideSearch goes above 7,000 members as more people look to carpool.

    RideSearch was started on January 1st, 2008 and every month more and more people are signing up. So check the site often to see if people in your area have signed up. Our "Find a Carpool" button actually searches for people who live and work near you. All that is left is for you to communicate with them.

    We have reached over 7,000 members this last month and that is a good sign for those who are looking for a carpool. Carpooling is a green, safe, cost-saving, gas saving activity that can help the world in many ways. Thank you for signing up on the nation's premier carpooling site.

    Invite your friends

    One of the biggest hurdles to getting a carpool setup is finding someone who lives and works near you. At RideSearch it is the members that make all the difference.
