Locals seeking a ride to a U2 concert, a Nationals game or to a political event can now thumb a lift online in a new high-tech version of the community bulletin board.
How to find a ride
Users must create a free account on Commuter Connections at commuterconnections.org.
Edit the “Event Profile” to select events for ride matches. Commuter Connections will be adding events to the database, but users can also submit events.
Those seeking a shared ride can choose to leave from work or home, then the system shows the closest matches on a Google map.
Users can click on the matches to e-mail the drivers offering rides.
