Many carpoolers also set up informal park-and-ride lots at shopping malls or other central locations where there is a large parking lot with a great deal of vacant parking spaces on most days of the year. It is best to contact the organization that manages the lot to get their approval before you start using the lot. ValleyRides can make the contact for you. Give us a call!
