New Carpooling option for the Keweenaw

HOUGHTON -- Looking for a ride? Want company on a long drive? Going downstate for the weekend? To Marquette for the evening? Commuting from L'Anse? Check out the Keweenaw community ride board set up through icarpool.com. This free service matches riders and rides for local or long distance travel, one way or round trip, daily commutes or one-time rides to events.

If you have an MTU email address you can register with the Michigan Tech group, but anyone in the community can register with the Keweenaw group. You can register with one group, both groups or no group. You can still get/offer rides with just a general registration. Rides will be found from any group (even if you are not a member of either one) unless you say that you only want rides from a restricted group.

For music (and other events) you can enter the name, date and location of the event to link with others who are planning to go. This is a great way to meet other people who enjoy your favorite bands! When you register, you may wish to enter "music list" in the registration comment box.

To join, register at icarpool.com. If you wish, select the Keweenaw community. Your comments will be bounced to organizer Sarah Green and back to you to complete the process.

Once you're registered with icarpool, just enter when and where you want to go (and your favorite radio station!) and you will be linked with possible matches to make your own arrangements.

To join, register at icarpool.com. For more information contact Sarah Green at sgreen@mtu.edu.
