Customizable Company Ridematching Web Portal
Providing parking at a workplace can be challenging - and costly.
Want to reduce your parking requirements and manage these facilities better? Finding it difficult to recruit and retain employees because access by transit is not convenient? Help employees form carpools.
The website www.ride-share.com matches people with similar work locations and schedules and shares only their email addresses – allowing each individual to decide if they wish to take action. Employees can use their own car, or ride in someone else’s – sharing costs in whatever way best suits them.
If your employees only want to carpool with others in the company, have a company-branded site, complete with your company logo, that also allows you to measure participation. This service comes at no charge to companies and employees due to TravelSmart’s sponsorship.
Ways to encourage carpooling:
- Offer a thank you gift to all staff who drive that enter their trips at ride-share.com
- Allocate parking spaces closest to the building for carpoolers
- If you charge for parking, reduce or waive the fee for carpoolers
- Make sure they're aware of priority parking for carpools at Scott Road and South Surrey Park & Ride
