March 9, 2005 -- With the gas prices lately, even a short commute can empty the wallet. To remedy driving frustrations, the Health System has set up an online “Ride Board” where people can sign up to car pool to work. By entering your address and your destination, as well as your driving preference and
frequency, you can be included in the database with other participants in your area. All it takes is a search to find someone in your vicinity to contact and stop flying solo to and from work. Submitting an application on the Web site, www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/intranet/ride-board/, does not obligate you to drive or ride — you can participate when you would like. The process is simple, and can be completed in about five minutes. Accessing this site requires either your HS/CS or ITC managed login account (same as your e-mail account).
