Today we’re looking at car-pools. So far we’ve covered how to start organizing a car-pool and rules to follow.
There are alternatives to the tradional car-pool that you may want to consider as well. Not everything has to be about driving. You might consider a…
Walking-pool – where parents set days to walk a group of kids to and from school or other activities.
Bike-pool – same as walking, but of course on bikes (or scooters).
Long-term pools – a long term pool might be that one or two parents handle transport for a week at a stretch. Then new parents take over the following week. If you have a large group of parents this can work well, because everyone gets weeks at a time off from all transport duties.
What other pooling ideas do you have?
