Faythe, and anyone looking for a ride for themselves or someone else:
I hope the chatlist helps. Another tool is the statewide website www.SharetheRideNC.com.
Although it is statewide, it is administered out of Triangle Transit offices. It is also accessible though a FABULOUS website called
www.GoTriangle.org
But more about the latter in another post if anyone is interested.
I’ve posted here before about www.SharetheRideNC.com before. When I rode the Pittsboro Triangle Transit van to UNC, this is how I found it. You just go there and enter the start and end times and locations of your commute. It takes only about 15 seconds. Right away, there is a list of others displayed, who either are carpooling and/or vanpooling, or who have expressed an interest in doing the same, who are going the same direction as
you.
Even if there is no one signed up yet, your participation is free and it makes the database more useful for everyone else. it is a real service.
Best,
Claire Kane
