SchoolPool is iCommute’s free carpool matching service for parents of children who attend the same school anywhere in the region. With this safe and secure service, you are matched with other parents in your neighborhood who are interested in sharing the driving responsibilities of dropping off and picking up their children from school.
SchoolPool is a safe, convenient way to get your kids to school while saving time, money on gas, and reducing congestion. By reducing the number of trips you take, you also help the environment by decreasing air emissions, including greenhouse gases.
Research has proven that when students carpool, their school attendance and timeliness improve.Carpooling also reduces congestion in school zones, which promotes safety at your school.
The SchoolPool program is open to students in all public and private elementary, middle, and high schools within San Diego County. Participation is voluntary. Parents establish the schedules that work for them and save time by sharing the driving duties.
A. Contact your child’s school, ask for the transportation coordinator, and tell them you are interested in participating in the SchoolPool commuter program.
B. If your school does not have a commuter program set up, ask them to contact SchoolPool by calling 511 – say “iCommute” when prompted to reach a customer service representative. We will help set up a safe and secure network at your school for free.
C. Once your school’s network has been created, parents just need to sign up for an account through RideMatcher. Once you’re signed up, log in, get your ride match list, and you’re ready to roll!
iCommute has helped to establish SchoolPool programs at elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the region.
For more information, dial 511 and say ‘iCommute’ or e-mail schoolpool@sandag.org.
