car poolers

Joint commute participants

Car poolers are people who share rides to a common destination, typically for commuting to work or school.

The practice reduces costs, traffic congestion, and environmental impact by putting multiple passengers in one vehicle: Car poolers can use the HOV lane during rush hour.

Also spelled as one word: carpoolers.
