ShareTheRide User Feedback “My carpool rider was Muslim,

and since I’m Jewish I thought that could be a source of tension. However, our conversations emphasized our similarities, and we found our differences to be interesting and not at all threatening.” Michael F.

“Let go of the fear of leaving your car. You will be shocked at the savings in both time and money…you will never go back to driving alone!” Chris M.

“Do it! You will wonder why

you waited so long.” Diana H.

“Fear is a liar.” Suzanne D.

ShareTheRide User Tips

“Because I can’t know someone’s

driving style or history, I arrange an

initial meeting or conversation, prior

to committing.” Sandra T.

“Do it! In addition to cost and time

savings, it makes your days a little

more fun!” Brenda N.

10

“Use the Park-and-Ride! It is clean, well-lit, has security and

HOV access to I-10. This is especially meaningful if you

carpool to downtown Phoenix. If your carpooler bails, you

simply catch the next Rapid! Sandra T.

Raves About Ridesharing

“I can let the stress fall off me so I

don’t drag it in the door with me at

night. My evenings have been more

enjoyable and productive. My family

loves it!” Helen R.

“It’s awesome, you make new

friends and it makes the drive home

during rush hour less stressful. Nice

to be able to use the carpool lane.

We arrive home much earlier!”

Teresa S.

11

“I found my carpool driver on ShareTheRide. We have been

riding together almost 10 years. We aren’t just carpoolers –

we’re friends. It’s been a great experience.” Kathy N.

“I’ve built long-lasting friendships

with people I met in carpools over

the years.” Sandra T.
