The Stanford Research Park Transportation team can help you connect with others interested in carpooling.
Carpool Overview
Carpooling can be a convenient alternative to driving alone. Besides convenience, other benefits can include:
Less driving means less wear/tear and maintenance costs on your own vehicle
Reduced emissions, air pollution and traffic congestion in our communities
Meeting new people and a more enjoyable commute

I think the flexibility is what’s so great about carpooling. The other benefit that I’ve found is that I get to talk to people in my car and I’ve gotten to know a couple of people, which has been very eye-opening and interesting.
