RideShare
RideShare is a program of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission working to reduce traffic congestion and increase mobility throughout the City of Charlottesville and the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson.
RideShare offers free carpool and SchoolPool matching, a vanpool start-up service, and we operate a Guaranteed Ride Home program, which provides free rides home in an emergency to users of alternative transportation. RideShare also works with employers to develop and implement traffic reduction programs, and we market the region's Park and Ride lots.

Vanpool
Vanpooling is a great commuting alternative for those commuting to U.Va from locations such as Richmond, Culpepper, and Staunton. Commuters can reduce the cost of their commute while enjoying the trip with new and old friends.

Park & Ride Lots
There are currently more than 20 Park & Ride Lots in the Charlottesville area that make it easy for commuters to meet to share the rest of the ride into work. Many of these Park & Ride lots are served by JAUNT and the Charlottesville Transit Service (CTS). Visit RideShare's online Park & Ride Lot map to find the one most convenient to you: http://www.rideshareinfo.org/parkride.shtml

PickupPal
Launched in January 2008, PickupPal allows a private vehicle engaged in a transportation event (a one-way trip from A to B) to be matched intelligently and dynamically over the Internet to a pickup location (someone or something) along its planned route anywhere in the world.
PickupPal's core service is providing a venue for either passengers or packages to find or be matched to a driver-typically already traveling in a certain direction or destination. This intelligent matching is performed via our own proprietary set of software algorithms that dynamically and in real time compare routing, frequency, location, and driver/passenger preferences against a pool of registered users.
