Overview of Carpool.ca
Trans Canada Carpool.ca created www.carpool.ca (Carpool.ca) in 2000 to assist
in the formation and management of carpools. The Carpool.ca application uses home
& destination locations, driving route and other personal information to help commuters
identify potential carpool partners. The system is fast, secure and simple to use.
Carpool.ca offers these services to commuters in partnership with employers, post-secondary
institutions, and regional governments. Partners pay an annual subscription fee
that includes a menu of services. The program is hosted, managed and updated by
Carpool.ca staff. There is no cost to commuters using this service. Partners have
access to their data and have the option of generating administrative and statistical
reports.
To ensure program growth, Carpool.ca has a strong marketing component that includes
promotional materials, tools and resources. Sample materials are available upon
request. All subscriptions include carpool matching, hosting, database management,
and various levels of marketing and administrative support.
The award winning Carpool.ca program is based on almost two decades of transportation
demand management experience and continues to evolve with the invaluable support
of our partners.
