Carpooling on long trips: Tips and precautions
I understand what's at stake
Did you know? The average occupancy rate for a car is 1.43 people for short trips (less than 80 km) and 2.25 people for long trips (more than 80 km)… including the driver!
Why not consider giving other passengers a ride in your car? This will allow you to split the cost of gas.
And that’s far from the only benefit of carpooling! Carpooling also helps to:
- reduce the number of cars on the road,
- ease traffic congestion,
- lower transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions,
- make traveling more enjoyable.
