Project Summary

UBC’s carpooling and ride-sharing program is in collaboration with metro Vancouver’s carpool network. This program allows UBC students to post and request rides in the app at no additional cost while also gaining access to other incentives and promotions. Carpooling is advantageous in many ways, including the reduced carbon emissions (good for the environment), less traffic and noise, reducing cost of travelling and lastly studies have shown it to improve well-being as well. Hence this great initiative by the City and UBC would be beneficial for all, and to know how to use the app visit their website!
