CARPOOL
CARPOOL's mission to facilitate a safe and reliable commuting environment in the Bryan/College Station area by providing free, non-judgmental rides home to intoxicated patrons and/or patrons rendered incapable of transportation due to other circumstances. By providing safe rides home to anyone in need, we are not only getting each and every patron home safely, we are helping to keep the entire region of Bryan/College Station more safe and reliable. CARPOOL also works in tandem with the three police departments in the area. We help to alleviate their busy load each weekend by giving rides home to patrons whom the officer feels just need to go home, rather than to jail. This gives the officers more time to get back out there and continue to keep the community safe, while getting the patron home safely at the same time.
