Share the Ride NC
Share the Ride NC is a free website and app that offers carpool-matching, trip-tracking for commuter rewards, and more! This is a great option for Surry Community College students to carpool in order to save money on gas.
Carpools are made up of people who have similar work/class schedules and travel similar routes. Riders choose the meeting location, days, and times they want to carpool. Some carpoolers take turns driving their personal vehicles, while others use just one car and split the driving costs. Carpools are flexible as riders can choose to only carpool on certain days.
