​Sharing a car trip with other people is carpooling, and something we often do without thinking about it. There are several benefits to sharing a ride: it can be more enjoyable and affordable than driving alone and can help reduce congestion and parking issues. There are also carpool lanes that make travel quicker for carpoolers.

You can carpool more often by talking with friends, family, colleagues or people in your community about travelling together. Auckland Transport makes it easier for people to find someone to carpool with on its carpool website. We also provide you with support for setting up a carpool scheme at your workplace.
