The RIDE Solutions service bests serves those looking for a regular carpool partner for a regular commute, such as a work commute or to share a ride to class. If you're looking for one time rides, out-of-state rides, or other unusual trips, consider one of the following services:

• RIDE Solutions Ride Board: Anyone registering with our forums can post a ride to share or a request for a ride. Registering with the forums also gives you access to our discussion boards and blog.
• Blacksburg Craigslist: If you're in the New River Valley area, particularly a student, the Blacksburg Craiglist is a good place to begin your search for an out of town ride. Craigslist is a national free classifieds service.
• Roanoke Craigslist: Craigslist added Roanoke to the list of regions it serves in 2006.

If you use Facebook and are looking for other ways to connect with local commuters for one-time, long distance, or other rideshare applications, consider adding the GoLoco application to your profile. GoLoco uses the power of Facebook's social networking technology and it's own route matching software to connect you with commuters who share your route. It's one more option that can help you make the best of your daily commute.
