With gas over $5 a gallon across the country, more and more workers are starting to share a ride. How much can you save?
As many of us started returning to the office this year, gas prices started soaring. And now that daily commute is becoming very expensive for many workers.You — or your parents — might remember gas lines from the 1970s, when gas was expensive and hard to find.Fast forward 40 years, and LaToya Davis is carpooling home from her job at a Veterans Affairs hospital. She's one of many new workers signing up for car and van pools.
Summer Jones oversees a regional carpool and vanpool program called OKI Rideshare and says it's about more than just gas. "It's just relaxing," she said."It saves money, saves wear and tear on your car. And some people like the friendship."The US Census Bureau said carpooling peaked at 20% of all drivers in 1980 but fell to just 9% in recent years due to low gas prices."I save gas and time," she said."Plus, I get to work on time too!"
So check with some co-workers who live near you, and consider sharing a ride so you don't waste your money.Don't Waste Your Money" is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc. .Follow John on Twitter
