On the 'Find a Carpool' page, you can search for carpool partners for recurring trips (like your daily commute) and one-time trips (like going to a concert or traveling home for spring break).
Why put miles and wear on your own car when you could share your commute with five or more people in a new, comfortable van? We’ll help you navigate the process of starting a vanpool to your worksite!
Cycling can be a life-changing commute option! Try incorporating it for all or some of your commute. See bike maps and information on biking throughout the state.
When you become a sustainable commuter, you could qualify for the 511NY Rideshare Guaranteed Ride Program; when an unexpected situation arises and you need to leave work early, we’ll get you to your destination for free!
