Carpooling is the commuting mode of 18 to 20 percent of American workers , but relatively little definitive information has been available on who carpools, how and why. Based on data from the 1977-78 Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey, this paper analyzes the characteristics of carpoolers, distinguishes among different types of carpoolers, identifies the key differences between carpoolers and drive alone and transit commuters, describes how commuters carpool, and offers explanations of why commuters carpool. The paper also addresses the issue feasibility of a substancial increase in carpool mode share.
