The experience and evaluation of the RideShare Department of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments are presented. From the practitioner's experience, it is concluded that ridesharing programs, because they provide a more economical and less stressful means of commuting to work, can be marketed by major employers as an employee personnel benefit. The use of designated employee transportation coordinators for ridesharing by such employers has established good, solid programs. Marketing ridesharing to the general public enhances the objectives of transportation system management (TSM) by coordinating commuters with existing major businesses and business districts. This evaluation will enable the regional planning agency to reassess its goals in order to satisfy the existing TSM objectives through ridesharing.
