Carpooling
Are you bored of your commute? Now you can carpool with others on campus to work. Sign up with your Oberlin email address on gohiocommute.com and join the movement!
Gohiocommute is a secure website that will connect you with others looking for a carpool group in the same area.
Carpooling can bring many benefits to the Oberlin community: it saves gas money and wear and tear on vehicles, it helps people connect, it spreads out the task of driving, and it reduces our environmental impact. Signing up on the platform does not obligate you to carpool. The website allows users at Oberlin College and Conservatory to see others’ routes and form carpool groups. Your commute info will only be visible to Oberlin users. Further, it will not identify you or your specific address -- just your street name or town/city and your chosen screen name. Please sign up using your oberlin.edu email address at gohiocommute.com (making sure to indicate “Oberlin College” under “Networks”).
Signing up will put more carpoolers on the map and allow carpool groups to organize and communicate efficiently. You and your carpool group will have autonomy over how you want your carpool to go -- which days you carpool, what time you leave, whether you listen to music, where to meet up, whose driving, etc.
If you have any questions about carpooling on campus, feel free to email sustainability@oberlin.edu.
