Carpooling
Carpooling is a great way to save money, reduce wear and tear on your vehicle, take the stress out of driving, and increase sustainability. Missouri State University faculty, staff, students, and other visitors may consider carpooling to campus. Many third-party websites offer assistance in facilitating carpooling opportunities. These third-party websites may require the use of a Missouri State University email addresses to secure participation in a particular carpool program. Websites may also require additional personal information from participants (e.g., local address, final destination). Let's Go Smart offers a free ride matching system that requires the use of a Missouri State email as a way to ensure all members are affiliated with Missouri State University. More information can be found at www.ozarkscommute.com.
Missouri State University cannot vouch for any third-party carpooling coordination website or service provider, and will not be responsible for any third-party carpooling coordination service. Carpool participants must use good judgment and exercise due diligence in making carpooling decisions, including the use of any third-party carpool coordination service or website.
