Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro has one. New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. has one. And, many schools, libraries, government offices and employers in the Greater New Haven and Greater Waterbury areas each have one too.

Find a Vanpool or Carpool Match Through The Commuters’ Register
Commuters' Register
The Commuters’ Register is a useful resource that advertises rides to work for commuters who are looking to start or join vanpools and carpools; it also provides transit information. It only takes a few minutes for a commuter to place a free carpool or vanpool listing (similar to a classified ad).
