TIPS FOR FOR A SAFE COMMUTE
Organized carpools, typically with 1-2 passengers in addition to the driver, offer comparatively low potential exposure risk for the shared commute. Carpooling deserves increased attention from employers as they develop plans to return their employees to the workplace because exposure is limited and it’s a flexible, scalable solution for commuters.
