Carpool and save over $2,500 a year...
With the help of UTA Rideshare, carpooling is easy. What's more, the typical carpooler saves hundreds of dollars a year in commuting expenses - including gas, auto maintenance, car repairs and parking fees. In addition, on the days carpoolers don't drive, they get to work ready to work, having had an extra opportunity to read, study, work, or rest. Often, that can directly affect the employee's productivity and skill level.

UTA Rideshare's computerized matching service can help employees begin carpooling immediately. A representative takes your commuting information over the phone, through the Rideshare Website, or you may request a UTA Rideshare matchlist form sent to you. A few days later, interested employees receive a matchlist containing names and phone numbers of people who live and work in their area, have the same working hours, and are interested in carpooling.

In many cases, employees create their own carpool by teaming up with friends or associates who live and work close to each other. A few phone calls is all it takes.

Either way, the environmental benefits are obvious - improved air quality and decreased traffic congestion. Just as importantly, your efforts to improve the environment by promoting carpooling certainly reflect favorably on your company.

Commuters also have the option of using the High Occupancy Vehicle (carpool) lanes on I-15 from 10600 South to 400 South in Salt Lake County. Vehicles with two or more people are eligible to use the lane. The lanes are marked with a solid yellow line on the left (meaning do not cross) and a wide solid white line on the right (cross any time, but with caution and proper signal). Eligible vehicles may enter or exit the lanes at any time, but are urged to do so with caution.

If your firm does not have an Employee Transportation Coordinator, please designate such an individual to organize a Rideshare program then have them contact UTA for assistance.

Such arrangements are quickly and easily handled when you or interested commuters in your company phone UTA Rideshare: 1-888-743-3882.
