Carpooling Made Easy
If you're a busy parent who spends afternoons and weekends trekking your kids all around town, check out Divide the Ride - a helpful online organizational tool that'll help free up some of that time you spend behind the wheel. Simply log on to the website and invite some of the families you know and trust in your neighborhood or on your child's sports team to join a kids' carpool. Each participating parent enters their driving availability, which Divide the Ride evaluates to create evenly distributed ride sharing assignments. Sounds great, no? It gets even better... for super swamped parents (or the forgetful - you know who you are!) Divide the Ride will not only send you a reminder when it's your turn to drive, they'll also send an email and text message if and when there's a change so you're always in the loop. So start up a carpool today and save on time, gas, and energy!
Wow what a great idea... now all of the parents on my kid's soccer team can pitch in without a fight.

This could help me a lot to keep track of both of my son's schedules. It also makes me feel good to help the planet.

Perfect finally a free solution to my carpooling headaches! I've been looking for something like this. It sounds really easy to use too.

Sweet! I am constantly forgetting I need to kick up my kids. This sounds like something I might actually use. I tries creating something similar with my friends but paper and pencil just are not the same as software.

It is a user friendly website and more importantly a safe way to organize the kids hectic schedules without having to be in two places at the same time.

I can't beleive this web site. I got on the site and literally had a car pool up and running with invitations to all of my wifes friends in a matter of minutes.
What great timing too with the outrageous gas prices in my area right now!!

What a great way to organize my son's activities. I've been looking for an easy way to get the neighborhood parents to share driving duties.

This idea is fantastic! I've set up my first carpool and it was easy to navigate. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great way to keep up with my 3 kids activities. My friends & I LOVE this site. You have to try it!

I love the idea of getting email and text message reminders. This will definitely be helpful for my current carpools that we now arrange over the phone or in person. Having all of our information on this site will certainly save time and avoid aggravation when trying to figure out who will do the driving.

Divide The Ride has been so helpful to our family and it was so easy to setup our calendar! The text message reminders are really great!
