Carpool Week in October
Carpool Week, taking place from 11-17 October 2013, aims to raise awareness of the social and environmental benefits of carpooling, answer questions around safety and insurance, give tips on sharing best practice and learn from other's experiences. It will also provide South African's with an easy way to find other's to carpool with.
Private vehicles remain the most common source of transport for individuals travelling to work with 32% of all South Africans. Most journeys occur with only one person in the vehicle, leaving millions of empty seats. Many people travel the same direction at roughly the same time each day, how many of these journeys could perhaps be shared?
Daily topics will be raised during the week. They will include:
7 October: What's in it for me & is anyone going my way?
8 October: Did you know: Interesting facts + figures
9 October: Experiences: The Good, the Bad and the Funny
10 October: Overcoming the safety and insurance barriers
