Thank you for your interest in carpooling. By sharing your ride, you’ll be doing your part to protect the environment and reduce traffic, as well as the demand for parking at the Mānoa campus. You may also be able to save by sharing costs with other members of your carpool and speed up your commute by using High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) or Zipper lanes.
