If you’re traveling along the I-66 corridor, carpooling enables you to travel the new I-66 Express Lanes for free and to enjoy a faster, more reliable commute. Carpool is one of the many [transit options](https://blog.arlingtontransportationpartners.com/transit-options-for-i-66-commuters) you can use to easily travel the corridor.

 

 

## **Benefits of Carpooling**

As a common form of ridesharing, carpooling offers a wide range of benefits to both employers and employees alike. We explore the top three advantages commuters can enjoy while carpooling on I-66.

### 1. Improved employee morale and productivity

Carpooling on I-66 allows your employees to enjoy a[faster commute](https://blog.arlingtontransportationpartners.com/i-66-fact-vs-myth-the-fastest-commute), and avoid long hours stuck in traffic to and from the office. By avoiding jams and chatting with friends during their commute, employees arrive to work in a better mood, which leads to more productivity on the job.

### 2. Save money

This applies to both employers and employees alike. Carpoolers can save up to $130 per month through Commuter [Connections' Pool Rewards](https://www.commuterconnections.org/pool-rewards/). On I-66, carpoolers ride for free and can save on toll costs.

Employers who encourage their employees to carpool can also reduce their property’s parking volume and costs.

### 3. Commute with peace of mind

Carpoolers qualify for the [Guaranteed Ride Home](https://arlingtontransportationpartners.com/services/guaranteed-ride-home/)(GRH) program. We’ve all experienced a situation where we’ve had to alter our daily commute, whether it’s a family emergency, sickness, or unscheduled overtime at work. GRH offers four free rides home a year for all unforeseen situations. This gives carpoolers, who depend on other drivers, to travel with the assurance that they will be able to get home in a pinch.

## **Find Your Carpool**

Whether you’re a first-time carpooler, or you’re familiar with rideshare, there are several carpool apps that can help you find your ideal ride and route.

## **Explore Carpooling**

Share this information with your employees so they can be more familiar with the options at their disposal, and learn about carpooling's many benefits.
