Hi Everyone,
The above website has recently been set up to assist people to carpool. I encourage you to sign up so we can start carpooling! How often do you hear that a friend or aquaintance has recently been on a trip e.g. to Auckland at the same time as you and you could have shared?
Using a website is a lot less time consuming than calling everyone you know to try to carpool.
First sign up, then go to the map of NZ (that unfortunately does not have Kaitaia on it) and look to the bottom right of the map - click on view all locations then click on Far North to view or post rides in your area. There are currently 2 ride listings for all of the Far North, both of them are mine and I am feeling lonely!
Later this year/early next year Transition Town Kaitaia will launch a carpooling promotion and it would be great if the site was already being used by Far North people. We plan to launch the promotion just after the next significant fuel price rise.
If you know people without internet who would like to carpool, I have spoken to The People's Centre in Kaitaia (down the end of Hofstede Arcade off Commerce Street) and they are happy to have people use their computer to link into the carpooling site. You can also use the internet access at the Far North Environment Centre.
Please forward this email to your networks and let's see what happens!
Rebecca Ranum
