The UMass Rideshare Program offers a carpool
assistance program that lists the names of carpoolers who have similar schedules
and routes. The ride-matching form allows you to create an account and submit your
information and find commuters in your neighborhood interested in carpooling. This
service is open to any Five College employee or off-campus student and is free of
charge.
For more information or to request a list of Rideshare
participants, contact the Rideshare Coordinator at (413) 545-6585 or rideshare@admin.umass.edu.
Smith also participates in the MassRIDES Emergency
Ride Home Program. Situations that are considered “emergencies” by the
ERH program include:

To register for the ERH program or obtain more

MassRIDES, a service of the Massachusetts Department
of Transportation (MassDOT), also offers a NuRide program to find people going your
way and at the same time earn reward points each time you take a “green trip” (like
transit, bicycling, walking, or carpooling). Then, redeem those points for rewards
like local and national restaurant coupons, retailer discounts and tickets to shows
and attractions. To sign up, go to www.nuride.com.
Carpoolers, opt-outers, bicyclists and PVTA riders can also take advantage of MassRIDES
Emergency Ride Home (ERH) Program. For more information contact MassRIDES by calling
