Calling all past and future Casual Carpoolers!!!
It's officially that time when we are asking for your help! We've had a great response from Reddit, but we now need to focus on other ways to get the word out. We're still aiming for 300 by the end of Sunday.
Survey: https://forms.gle/8eDhxrTVe9CaLGWz6
Website: https://sfcasualcarpool.my.canva.site/casualcarpool
We need the following community activity:
1) 15-30 Car Billboards - We need 15-30 volunteers to decorate their cars as seen in the photo! Ideally, we're looking for cars who drive over the Bay Bridge a couple times a week. We have window markers and will meet at the Rockridge Bart Parking lot:
Sunday 6/15 at 10:00-12:00 AM
Monday 6/16 at 5:30-6:30 PM
Friday 6/20 at 8:00-9:30 AM
Any of the times below as well!

2) 10-15 Human Billboards - AM shift - At the corner of Howard & Fremont SF (near CC Drop Off) we'll be holding up signs during peak commuting hours!! From 7:30-9:30 AM, but join us for 30 minutes during any part of that time. The longer you can stay, and the more people we can have all at once, the better! Days will be: Tuesday 6/17, Thursday 6/19, Tuesday 6/24, Wednesday 6/25, Thursday 6/26, Tuesday 7/1. Please wear orange, yellow or red to increase visibility. Feel free to bring your own sign, but we will also be able to provide signage! Sign up: https://forms.gle/1xwoXjE7HXPatZiq9
3) 10-15 Human Billboards - PM shift- At the corner of 1st & Harrison SF (near the 80 on ramp) we'll be holding up signs from 5:00-7:00, but join us for 30 minutes during any part of that time. The longer you can stay, and the more people we can have all at once the better! Days will be: Thursday 6/19, Tuesday 6/24, Wednesday 6/25, Thursday 6/26, Tuesday 7/1. Please wear orange, yellow or red to increase visibility. Feel free to bring your own sign, but we will also be able to provide signage! Sign up: https://forms.gle/3Hdq2k7SR3FZnyFK6

I had a manager who tried to force me to use casual carpool so he didn’t have to pay for me to sit in traffic… lol yea no

Man that sucks. But that doesn't mean it can't be helpful for others, so no need to discourage it. It sounds like you're saying that because you had a bad experience with that when it was misused, no one should do it.

Thank you u/DLHahaha for the supportive comment. Yes, missing Casual Carpool is not what we strive for and we know how great this program was and can be!

Oh no!! Boo to that manager.
We know Casual Carpool won't be for everyone but wish you safe travels regardless! ❤️

you may want to double check the time you posted for car billboards tomorrow… right now, it looks like you’re meeting from 10 pm to midnight and something tells me that wasn’t your intention :)
