Flexible carpooling is carpooling that is not arranged ahead of time, but instead makes use of designated meeting places. It seeks to replicate the informal slugging slug lines that form in Washington DC , Houston , and San Francisco , by establishing more formal locations for travelers to form carpools without advance contact. The essence of the systems is the use of a meeting place to form carpools, without any advance contact between the participants. For people wishing to carpool, going to a meeting place is a very low effort method for getting into a carpool, compared with any other system that involves contacting potential riders or drivers in advance, and arranging the trip. Of course, the key is that other people are also coming to the meeting place, and there need to be sufficient people traveling from any one meeting place to the common destination so that the waiting time to form a carpool is acceptable. The Transportation Research Board is carrying out research to determine the feasibilty of flexible carpooling to transit stations . ref name Transit IDEA http 144.171.11.40 cmsfeed TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID 2697 Transit IDEA ref Since fewer people are carpooling today than were thirty years ago, the federal government, as well as local governments and the Department of Defense, are trying to reverse the decline. ref name usatoday http www.usatoday.com news nation 2010 08 04 carpooling down N.htm USA Today ref It is estimated that San Francisco saves almost 1 million gallons of gasoline and associated emissions each year because of the operation of the informal flexible carpooling system. ref name Estimating the Energy Consumption Impact of Casual Carpooling ... a flexible carpooling system using as meeting points several major intersections near bus stops ...
