What is carpooling? It is the joint use of a vehicle by a driver and one or more passengers as part of a trip that the driver makes on his own account (at no charge, except for sharing costs). It allows drivers and passengers to make regular or one-off journeys.
Pooling vehicles on common routes has several advantages:
- Reduce individual transportation costs by sharing fuel costs and/or highway tolls between driver and passengers.
- Promote conviviality and strengthen social exchanges.
- Limit the number of vehicles on the roads and make traffic flow more smoothly.
- Contribute to the collective reduction in fuel consumption and participate in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
