èßäÊÓƵ

By carpooling kids to èßäÊÓƵ, families can make a positive impact on the environment, create a stronger sense of community, and enjoy practical benefits such as time and cost savings. Carpooling also reduces traffic surrounding èßäÊÓƵs, creating less congestion and air pollution. Try a carpool with one or more families. You can carpool to èßäÊÓƵ, to soccer practice, or to any event that other families are attending. Make it a regular thing a few times a week or even every day!

Oregon èßäÊÓƵs also have access to the SchoolPool app through the Oregon Department of Transportation’s program. SchoolPool is an online tool that is part of the Get There Oregon platform that helps match parents and caregivers who are driving alone to èßäÊÓƵ with other drivers from the same èßäÊÓƵ to share rides. This tool is free to use for K-12 èßäÊÓƵs in Oregon.

To get started with SchoolPool, èßäÊÓƵs can contact Shane Nevius, PPS Safe Routes to School Coordinator, at snevius@pps.net. Each èßäÊÓƵ must have a network manager to get messaging out to families to sign up for SchoolPool. The app is opt-in, so your information will only be displayed if you choose to create an account.
