The Rideshare Company
Will Help Save The Planet
Think that’s too big a promise?
Consider the impact that each car has on the environment. Then multiply that impact by hundreds – thousands regionally and well…you get the idea.
Consider this:
The Rideshare Company vanpool operations result in a cumulative total of:
- 361 million less miles traveled
- 10 million fewer vehicle trips
- 180 thousand fewer tons of emission released into the air
- 17 million gallons of gasoline conserved
The average household uses 1,143 gallons of gas per year
It is expected that the number of cars and trucks on already crowded highways will double in the next 30 years
The Average American spends 434 hours – 18 days – in his car each year
Driving your car 20.8 thousand miles a year emits 23.6 thousand lbs of CO2
Every car annually emits its own weight in carbon dioxide (CO2)
Cut 25 miles a week from your driving and save 15 hundred lbs of CO2
The US could save 33 million gallons of gas – each day – if the average commuting vehicle carried one additional person
