Carpool to Modesto
Looking to find a carpool to attend a volunteer canvass? You can use this tool to organize and find rides.
HOW TO CREATE CARPOOL LINKS
Instructions for how to create a carpool link:
1. Go to groupcarpool.com
2. Click on the green circle that says “Companies and Non-Profits”
3. Click on a blue button that says “Create Carpool”
4. Click on the button that says “get started” SMALL TRIPS plan (the only free plan) which can have up tp 50 participants.
5. You will then fill in three pieces of information: trip name, your email, and the language
6. You will then be asked whether or not you prefer 3 or 4 columns (4 has departing and return columns and 3 doesn’t so I always use 4).
7. From here on out the other set of instructions applies to everything you need to do.
*Once you create the carpool there is a place to copy and paste the link. You ALSO get a confirmation email after everyone you create with the link in it.*
HOW TO USE THE CARPOOL WEBSITE:
You can do two things on this site, either create a carpool, or join an existing one.
We recommend that the meet up location be at a BART station so folks joining a carpool who do not have cars can more easily reach their carpool. DRIVERS, please ENTER the desired BART station in the NOTES SECTION. PASSENGERS, leave that field blank because you will want to go to the BART station recommended by your driver (unless there is some other note you need to add).
How to create a carpool:
-go to the top left corner of the page where it says create a carpool and click on it. There will be a space to fill out the following information:
Name
Email
Phone
Number of Seats
Address
City
State
Departing Time
Return Time
Notes
Please note: some of these fields are mandatory, some are not. However, it is most helpful if all of the information is filled out to the fullest extent.
How to join a carpool:
- the existing carpools will show up in a vertical list down the page, and will be marked as full if there are no longer seats available in the car. If there are seats, you can join by clicking on the car, and there will be space to fill out the following information:
Name
Email
What kind of ride do you need? (Round Trip / Departing Trip / Return Trip)
Phone
City
Address
State
Notes
Again please note: some of these fields are mandatory, some are not. However, it is most helpful if all of the information is filled out to the fullest extent.
