It is Federally funded if that tells you anything. I have been car pooling with a match through that database for 2 years now and have saved lots of $$$. We have even added a third person making are savings even more. They also provide a service called Emergency Ride Home which provides cab fare voucher for you or your car pooler if there is an emergency and you need to leave work early. I haven't had to use it but nice feature to have in case you need to use it. Chrsi Doug,

I sighed when I read the math and how much happiness (in dollars and cents) I was sacrificing for my current commute. Doug Eric,

Looks like the project is coming along great. There are some great resources out there on programming for an iPhone so that would be some nice buzz. Stay in touch... I'm registered on the site and hope to find someone else in the same commute as I am. No doubt you've got a solid business here. You bet, Brian! Looks like the project is coming along great.

Penelope Trunk, Brazen Careerist, blogged about the <a href="http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2007/12/20/how-to-decide-if-your-commute-is-too-long/">length of most commutes these days</a>. Apparently 38 minutes is the length of the average commute, even in New York City. Erik Deckers Talk about your coincidences.

The great thing is I am working on everything you mentioned. The design. the SEO, and even tighter searching will be ready by January 1, 2008. Also I am validating the IPhone capability of the site. I have a feeling 2008 will be the year of carpooling. Thanks again! Brian Bass Creator of RideSearch.com Doug,
