carpooler

Shared ride participant

A carpooler is someone who shares rides with others traveling to the same destination, typically for commuting to work or school.

Carpoolers take turns driving or split fuel costs: The carpoolers met at the park-and-ride every morning.

The arrangement reduces traffic, saves money, and may grant access to high-occupancy vehicle lanes.
