Car pooling

Car pooling is also referred to as "ride sharing" where people travel in the one vehicle to reduce travel costs and the amount of traffic on the road.  In Tasmania there are some organisations that assist with car pooling.

Drive 2 Work (D2W)

This Migrant Resource Centre program allows culturally and linguistically diverse clients to access car pooling arrangements. It allows people to access and maintain employment in regional areas outside the greater Launceston area.
