The Leader wants to help motorists share information about ride sharing. With gas prices rising quickly, ride sharing is a financially wise alternative to traveling alone.

Please feel free to post information here about where you want to go and when, and whether you need a ride. It might be a ride to work or to visit someone.

Or post information about your own commute, and whether you are able to provide a ride to anyone going in the same direction at the same time.

And if you are planning a long-distance trip, say to Chicago or Duluth, and you have extra space in your vehicle, feel free to post that information as well.
