Transportation Department urges Americans to double up
The Department of Transportation promotes carpooling to cut commuting costs. It cites that 73 million people commuted by vehicle daily, with 523 million trips by individuals, and notes many empty seats. A four person carpool could save about 276 dollars yearly and reduce driving. A nine page pamphlet, Rideshare and Save-A Cost Comparison, is available free from the Consumer Information Center in Pueblo, Colorado.
