Your company, public/private institution or community can have its own virtual carpool matching system at carpoolworld.com for carpooling, ridesharing or vanpooling. It's very easy and inexpensive, and we take every precaution possible to ensure the privacy of your users' email addresses and other personal information. Please read below for details, and please don't hesitate to ask us if you have any questions or special requirements.

Overview

Your virtual carpool-matching web site will actually be the carpoolworld.com system with your banner at the top of every page, and with the system features set for your group's specific requirements. Your users will be able to control whether their trips are matched only within your private group or with the general public. You will have a special administrator's page with functions for you to report and maintain all the entries in your group (see our administrator's guide for details). The system is fully automatic, and we will respond to support questions from your users.

Features

We will create a dedicated log-in page for your carpool group on our web site, or we can provide you with the html code for you to build your own carpoolworld.com log-in page on your web site, your choice.
Users who enter our site through your log-in page will see your banner in the header of every page on our web site for as long as they are logged in. You may also customize certain other attributes of the look and feel of your group pages. You can control if certain fields are required, optional or hidden.
You can configure a list of pre-defined destinations (work locations or events) that can be selected by your group's commuters when they register their journeys.
You can restrict your users so that they must have your common email domain name (ensures your group's privacy).
Your users can switch between matching themselves only within your group or in the entire database whenever they want.
You can administer your own membership list, download your membership list to a spreadsheet, generate carpool matchlists for your users and notify them by email automatically. You can also export and view your user geographic data in Google Earth ™.
We will not display any third-party advertising on the pages used by your users.
We will happily work with you to adapt the group settings for your needs.

Please take a look at our Administrator's Guide for more details about the administration and control features that we provide for carpool group administrators.
