Register a journey at RUcarsharing.com to enter a prize draw for a Kindle!
If you drive to work, there is probably room for at least one more in your car. Sharing your commute with just one other person will halve the cost of your journey. RUcarsharing.com has been set up specifically for staff and students at the University of Reading, register your journey and find out who you could share a lift with. UPP staff can also join the University scheme.
If you have thought about lift-sharing before, this is the ideal time just to give it a try. It takes five minutes to sign up and search for others going your way. If you sign up this week and register a journey your name will be entered into a prize draw to win a Kindle
You do not even need your own car. Lots of members would be happy to give you a lift, in return for a contribution to the fuel costs and a bit of friendly company.
It's not just about cars - you can also register walking, cycling and public transport journeys, whether you are looking for company for added safety on your journey, or just want someone to chat to.
It does not have to be a regular journey. You can look for one off journeys, journeys you do once a week, and journeys at times you might think no one else will be travelling. The more people that log their journeys, the more potential matches there are.
You can select whether you just want to include members of the University scheme to share with, or widen your search to include other Liftshare members too. There could be someone working at the hospital or in town who is your ideal match.
It's totally free to join RUcarsharing.com. Just log onto www.rucarsharing.com and give lift-sharing a try in liftshare Week. For more information and posters for your noticeboards, please go to the Clean and Green website
