The first step in finding a carpool match is joining a group. Once you’re a member of at least one carpooling group, you’ll want to schedule the trip to find a match. ConnectSmart will automatically search your groups for members with rides that match your itinerary; if we find a match, we’ll notify both parties. From there, either person can invite the other to carpool. If you like the match and would like to carpool, simply accept the invitation; if it doesn’t work for you for any reason, simply decline the invitation.
