Miami Valley RIDESHARE

The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission sponsors the local RIDESHARE Program which is available for FREE to anyone who lives, works or attends college in Montgomery, Greene, Miami, Preble, Darke and Clinton Counties. When you register for RIDESHARE, the matching software will try to link you with others who live near you and work/attend college near you too. You'll receive a match list of people who have similar schedules and destinations. You can contact them and make arrangements to form a carpool or vanpool. MVRPC's RIDESHARE Program is a partner of Gohio Commute, a FREE service with information on commuting options. If you have questions or need help registering, please email rideshare@mvrpc.org or call 937.223.SAVE.

Carpooling – it has many benefits:

• Save money by sharing the ride with one other person, you can cut your commuting costs in half.
• Reduce wear on your personal vehicle.
• Lower your stress by sleeping, reading or relaxing while riding as a passenger. You can determine a schedule and share driving responsibilities accordingly.
• Meet new people and make new friends with your carpool companions.
• Reduce traffic congestion since fewer vehicles on the road means a free-flowing commute.
• Improve the environment since fewer vehicle emissions mean cleaner air.

Vanpooling – benefits a larger group:

If you have a long commute (over 25 miles one-way), you and a group of up to 14 people may be interested in renting a van on a monthly basis. The monthly vehicle rental rate is based on the size of the vehicle, the number of people riding in the van and the average monthly mileage. The monthly rental rate is divided among the passengers and each pays the same amount each month. Call 937.223.SAVE or 1.800.743.SAVE or email rideshare@mvrpc.org to speak with a RIDESHARE representative about this option.
