The millions of empty seats on our roads provide a viable solution to congestion, affordable mobility and emissions reduction.
SA’s second Carpool Week, from October 6 to 10, will promote the benefits of carpooling, raise awareness and encourage participation by South Africans.
“Carpooling doesn’t mean you cannot have a personal life and flexibility, carpooling one day a week will already have a noticeable positive impact.
“You can save R68 by sharing 100km with another person, while befitting the environment and freeing up road space. Consciously look for more opportunities not to travel alone,” says Daniel Claassen, from FindaLift and catalyst of Carpool Week.
Join South African celebrities and thousands of people who will have fun and raise awareness by sharing a ‘Carpool Selfie’ during Carpool Week.
“Take a ‘carpool selfie’ with a friend, family member or colleague during Carpool Week and share it on your social media with the hash tags #giveitago #carpoolweekSA or e-mail it to selfie@findalift.co.za,” he says.
Not only will you help raise awareness, there are great prizes to be won like ‘cash for fuel’ and shopping vouchers.
Carpool Week will encourage fewer cars on the road which not only reduces pollution and saves fuel but creates a culture of sharing and social cohesion.
