Sharing rides with family, friends, and/or caregivers
might not work in every situation. The questions below
will help you identify times that it might be a good
transportation option to get around your community.

▶ Do you have family or friends that go to the same
places you go?
» Carpool to places you both visit or enjoy.

somewhere else.

▶ Do friends or family often offer to give you a ride?

» When someone offers to give you a ride, consider
accepting their generosity. This may demonstrate
to them that you may need a ride more often.
