SchoolPool wristbands here for a limited time!

RideLink is offering an alternative to battling morning gridlock at your child’s school — it’s called “SchoolPool.” The concept is simple: fewer cars equal less traffic and increased safety. RideLink developed SchoolPool, a program very similar to carpooling, so parents can more easily get students to and from school each day.

SchoolPool offers families the opportunity to ditch the commute through RideLink’s customized matching service. Interested parties are connected with others who live nearby and have children at the same school in order to share the drive.

RideLink is offering a special promotion this summer to get students ready for back-to-school this fall. RideLink is rewarding each student family who completes a RideMatch Application with a one-of-a-kind wristband. Everyone who wears these wristbands is showing their commitment to reducing traffic, increasing safety, and cleaning up the air in the region. These wristbands are available as a limited time offer and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Get yours today!

It’s easy to set-up your SchoolPool and get organized before school starts. You’ll be on your way to saving time, stress, and money. Call 1-800-COMMUTE (266-6883), option 3, or e-mail SchoolPool@sandag.org to survive the drive with SchoolPool.
