Carpooling

Carpooling is when two or more people share a car ride.

It is estimated that the average cost to own and drive a car in Canada is between $10,000 and $17,200 per year (March 2024 estimate). With more people in the car, carpooling reduces each person's travel costs as well as the stresses of driving.

Benefits of carpooling

Carpooling benefits you in many ways. You can:

• Save money.
• Access reserved carpool parking spaces at your local GO Transit station.
• Park your car for free at designated Durham Region carpool parking lots and Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) carpool parking lots.
• Reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by taking a vehicle off the road.
