RideShare.us Adds Google Maps Integration to Aid Carpoolers

Eugene, OR (PRWEB) October 3, 2007 -- RideShare.us is pleased to announce Google Maps integration has been added to our popular ridesharing and carpooling web technology. Event organizers listing a workplace, school, festival or other event can now put a street address on their ridesharing page to add an automatic link to the location in Google Maps. Finding an event and getting driving directions has never been more convenient.

Rather than provide a generalized commuter matching service, RideShare.us specializes in event based ridesharing, making the tools available for anyone to set up an instant carpooling page dedicated to their workplace, school, festival or other type of event. Listings can be for one-time or continuous events. Organizers can even make their rideshare and carpool page private so it doesn't appear in normal search results. Riders, drivers, and listed events can be located anywhere in the United States or Canada.

Using the RideShare.us website (http://rideshare.us) is a great way for schools and businesses to start working towards reducing traffic and parking lot congestion, while also doing something proactive to help curb greenhouse gas emissions. Larger organizations and gatherings are often best suited to using RideShare.us because it helps bring people together who may not meet in person due to a large office, academic environment or geographic separation.
