Rent university-owned vehicles to drive to off-campus university events/meetings.

WAZE Carpool

An app-based service that matches drivers and riders who are commuting at similar times via similar routes.

The driver gets paid $.54 a mile, or can choose a set fee and the riders get a low-cost ride.

Matches are easy to make and can be close to real-time, and if things don't work out with your carpool partner, you can choose a different one the next day.
