"Cool to Pool" Initiative from the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization

Now that gas prices averaging nearly $4.00 per gallon, the idea of sharing a ride to work may be appealing to you. The North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) has created the "Cool to Pool" Program to encourage carpooling and reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. The program features an online rideshare matching service and provides step by step instructions on establishing your carpool. And if you register with the Cool to Pool rideshare program, you qualify for Emergency Ride Home Program assistance under specific situations. If you have an emergency and need to leave before your carpool, you'll get a free taxi ride to your car or home up to four times a year.

For additional information about this exciting new program, please call (904) 306-7500 or visit the Cool To Pool website.
