Casual Carpool

Casual carpooling is a grassroots travel option. Pre-pandemic, drivers and passengers queued during morning commute hours at more than 20 casual carpool pick-up locations. After filling with 2 passengers, the 3-person carpools commuted to San Francisco taking advantage of the high occupancy vehicle lanes and reduced Bay Bridge tolls. The system could resume as demand increases with the return to the worksite.
