Filling up those wasted car seats would dramatically change everyone’s commute – that’s for sure. With fewer cars on the road, we’d all get to our destinations faster. 

Carpooling is a tried and true traffic tamer but many of us just can’t commit to a regular carpool schedule. Sometimes you need to work late and somedays you need to leave work early to get the kids at school.

Old-school carpooling is tricky with a modern schedule but mobile technology is making carpooling easier for those of us with dynamic daily routines.  

Real-Time Ridesharing, or “flexible carpooling” is the next generation of sharing the ride.

By using a smartphone app you can coordinate rides with people going your way in real-time. Apps like the locally-developed iCarpool will not only help you match up with people going your way , it will even split the cost of the ride so you don’t have to carry change.
