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.

Ride Home Program. Situations that are considered “emergencies” by the
ERH program include:
- unexpected personal illness / emergency

request
- carpool/vanpool driver has emergency / unexpected
overtime
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.commute.com/NuRide. 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 888-426-6688 (888-4COMMUTE) or visit their
