RideShare Connection: Find your match for free!
The RideShare Connection (formerly the Carpool Connection) is a free, easy and convenient service that connects commuters throughout Greater Kansas City, Lawrence and St. Joseph who are interested in carpooling. If you're new to carpooling, check out the Carpool FAQ under Related Links for some helpful tips. For a step-by-step guide on how to use this site, click on Tutorial above.
RideShare Connection also provides a way for commuters to track their trips using all forms of transportation - carpool, bus, bicycle, walking and telecommuting. Check out your Commute Tracker calendar to report the days you use one of those modes or alternate work arrangements. You'll be able to track your cost savings and emissions reductions over time.
