TBARTA Regional School Commute Program
Sign up for the School Commute Program here.
What is it?
The TBARTA Regional School Commute Program matches parents of students at participating schools with other parents at those schools, so they can arrange a carpool to school (a.k.a. School Pool), saving time and money.
What is new?
For the 2013-2014 school year, this process will be entirely web-based. Parents can create an online profile and instantly receive a match list of other parents making the same daily trip. Then, parents can meet and agree to share the responsibility of carpooling to school, at their discretion.
In addition to matching car trips, TBARTA can also help parents arrange “walking school bus” and “bike train” groups.
Participation
The School Commute Program is currently available to parents at select elementary, middle, and high schools in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. The primary focus is to make TBARTA's rideshare-matching services available to parents and students at area schools, and to further the goals of removing car trips from our congested roadways.
Questions?
Each participating school has a designated School Program Coordinator (SPC), who can answer any questions about the program or help troubleshoot.
