See Where Everybody's Coming From
One of the most commonly-heard objections I get when encouraging someone to register for a carpool match is, "Oh, I live way out in XYZ. No one is carpooling from there." This despite the fact that I've probably talked to a dozen other people from XYZ in the past couple of months who have
also said the same thing. If every one of them registered instead of assuming it wouldn't work, that would be one heck of a carpool.
To help show people there chances of finding a match, I just put up a
new map on the RIDE Solutions site. It shows the origin point of all our existing members, so you can see if you've got someone close to your origin address. If you're an existing member, don't worry; there's no personal or address information tied to this; it's completely anonymous, but it does show how extensive our membership is.
