What is Carpool? A Carpool consists of at least 2 commuters who rideshare to and from work using their personal vehicles by either sharing the riding or driving only. The most common carpool arrangement involves commuters sharing the driving and riding duties. For example, in a two-person carpool one commuter drives one week using his or her personal vehicle and pays for the vehicle operating costs, while the other commuter rides. The next week the commuters’ roles are reversed.The other carpool arrangement involves one or more commuters driving only and one or more commuters riding only. For example, in a two-person carpool one commuter does all the driving using his or her personal vehicle, while the other commuter only rides and pays an equal share of the driver’s vehicle operating costs.
