Improves Air Quality Ozone season has begun and citizens can help to reduce the ozone level in Fort Worth by car pooling to work. Car pooling is two or more people sharing a ride. Car pooling is simple, tends to be informal, and can last as long as the participants choose. Car pools are based on sharing commute expenses. Poolers use one car owned by one driver.
Poolers can rotate car use and driving, so that each person's vehicle and time are shared equally.
No money is exchanged in this arrangement. Many car pools begin informally between neighbors or co-workers. Other car pools are initiated with the help of employers and the T, which can match commuters based on work hours and geographic location. This car pool matching assistance through the T is free. Once commuters find someone whose schedules and locations are compatible, the next step is to meet the potential car pooler to discuss arrangements.
