Free carpooling web page for your Transition Town

I spoke with Rod a few days ago. He's a New Zealander living in Sydney, and is offering free carpooling pages to all NZ TT communities. I'm delighted and excited at this genuine offering. Please do take advantage of it!

We're Jayride, NZ's biggest and best carpool matching website, with over 5,500 members and 80,000 rides shared. 

We help people connect to share their ride, to split the petrol cost and their co2 emissions. With enough use we reduce traffic in your town, and can help your community reclaim your streets from the automobile.

Now, we're offering your group a free dedicated page on Jayride. You can brand it, list rides on it, and use it to organise sustainable travel in your community. 
And we'll be happy to help you spread the word with printable flier downloads and whatever else you need.

This is a new feature we're built to grow and sell to businesses - however we're making it free for any Transition Towns like yours who would like to join us at the start, use it, and give us your feedback!

I'll say that again :) This is a free carpooling system for your community.

To see it in action check out this page on our Australian site: http://jayride.com.au/splendour2011

Our first NZ page comes online next week, for Sustainable Manawatu, I'll update here when it's ready for you to see.

If you're interested, send me an email at http://www.jayride.co.nz/mis/contactus.aspx - Getting started is easy: We can have you online within the week.

I hope to hear from you soon!

And (brand new) Transition Towns Bay of Islands

We're hoping to help you go out and make community carpooling happen!

Is anyone else out there keen to champion carpooling?

Next round of carpool pages online!

Hi everyone

Some more successses: Our next two carpooling communities are now online!

Grey Lynn 2030 is now up and running:
http://www.jayride.co.nz/browse/tags/79/grey+lynn+2030

And so is Ecofest Nelson-Tasman
http://www.jayride.co.nz/browse/tags/14/ecofest

These pages are empty now (because they're brand new) but if you want to see what they'll look like once their community has started using them, remember to take a peek at Sustainable Manawatu listed above. They're doing great work!

Cheers everyone :)

Rod
