A carpool is defined as two or more people sharing a ride to a common destination (or to nearby destinations). It’s easy, inexpensive, and flexible.

• Reduces wear and tear on vehicles.
• May result in lower insurance rates—check with your agent.

CarpoolMatchNW

CarpoolMatchNW.org is Oregon and Southwest Washington’s carpool matching service. Easy to use, it works for one-time trips as well as routine commutes. To sign up, visit the web site and enter your name, home address, email, and phone number as well as your commute origin and destination. The database then scans for matches and alerts you and your matches of the carpool potential. The program only provides your matches with your first name, email, and an idea of your origin and destination.

The TMA also maintains a district-specific list of carpools and those who want to be carpoolers. Email our support staff to sign up. Please include your name, home address, company, and work hours.
