How Carpooling could make your commute easier, cheaper and more sustainable

All across the country, thousands of commuters drive to work on the same roads to the same destinations as their neighbours, colleagues, or fellow students. If every driver carried another driver, the number of cars on our roads could be reduced by half.

Carpooling has great benefits for drivers, passengers, and the wider community. It’s a great way to save money by splitting the cost of getting to work or school, and fewer cars on the road will mean that your journey has a reduced environmental impact and contributes to reducing traffic congestion.

The Department of Transport’s Moving Together Strategy is a plan by the Government to make Ireland’s transport system more efficient for everyone while also reducing the impact of car dependence on the economy, the environment and the health of our society.
