Previously Entered Miles SchoolPool SchoolPool is a FREE service that matches families from a participating school with others who are interested in sharing a trip to school via carpooling, biking or walking. Participating in SchoolPool is easy. Families receive a customized match list of possible SchoolPool partners. Interested SchoolPool members then work out convenient transportation arrangements among themselves. Less Driving for Parents SchoolPool offers convenient alternatives for families who cannot drive their kids to school every day, or even for those who are already doing so but want to share the responsibility.
Any busy parent can benefit from the convenience of the resulting savings in time.
It also provides families with the names and phone numbers of others they can call on for emergency transportation in case of bad weather, illness or car trouble. When two or more people share a ride, walk or bike, it reduces traffic congestion on roadways and in front of schools. This means it will take less time and be a lot safer to drop off and pick up students. By not driving as often, SchoolPool participants can reduce the amount of money they spend on gas and car maintenance. Families who chose to do the driving may welcome extra gas money for providing the ride.
