Clever carpooling
Carpooling in the Wellington region is set to become much easier.
Greater Wellington's Jill Beck says many people like the idea of carpooling but the practicalities, such as finding people who work and live near you and work roughly the same hours, often make it difficult.
"We're doing a few things to make it easier. These include a web-based ride-matching service, which we're rolling out to all businesses and organisations in the Wellington region. We're also encouraging organisations to provide priority parking for carpoolers."
The carpooling programme is due to be launched next March.
