Dear Iwanna,

Congratulations, and Thank You for registering with ShareTheRide.com. You’ve taken a great first step towards improving your commute! If you’re already riding with someone you found through ShareTheRide.com, congratulations! However, if you are still wondering what to do with those names that appeared in your match list, read on.

Your employer, A Great Company, will provide you with the following incentives to encourage you to get into a carpool or vanpool:

·  $20 per month subsidy if you carpool to reduce your costs!

·  $20 per month subsidy if you vanpool to reduce the fare!

·  Great prizes if you carpool on HPA days

·  A Guaranteed Ride Home Program if you stay late or need a ride home early due to emergency for carpoolers

·  If you car or vanpool, or ride the bus on HPA days you may win a ½ day of PTO so be sure to send an email when you participate!

And, don’t be shy! Take advantage of ShareTheRide’s email feature to make the first contact. Once you’re in touch with a potential rideshare partner, use email or the phone to work out the details and the “ground rules”.

·  Decide who will drive and when.

·  Pick up your carpool partner at home or meet in a central location like a Park and Ride lot.

·  Decide ahead of time about smoking, radio stations, and any other personal preferences.

·  Consider doing a “trial run” for a day or so. This makes it easy to call off the arrangement if you don’t feel comfortable.

If you need assistance with anything contact your Transportation Coordinator, TC Name at (602) 555-1234 or or log on to your organization’s intranet/internet site for more details at www.agreatcompany.com

Good Luck!
