SAINT-LAZARE (Québec) – March 2, 2006
To promote car pooling, make it more accessible and
increase the number of car poolers, the Ville de Saint-Lazare has chosen to join forces with
the new car pooling services of CovoiturageMontréal.com instead of continuing to provide
the tool now available on the Town's Website. Those who are presently registered in
Saint-Lazare's car-pooling programme will therefore need to register at
saint-lazare.covoiture.ca.
From now own, those who are interested in car-pooling will be automatically
rerouted to this new tool, which offers its users a wider range of services including:
|
· |
free registration for the car pooler;
|
|
· |
a personal card which can easily and temporarily be deactivated at any time;
|
|
· |
a high level of confidentiality regarding personal information;
|
|
· |
a e-mail exchange service integrated within the site;
|
|
· |
access to a map showing points of departure and destinations, as well as satellite views;
|
|
· |
automatic matches based on outward/return trips instead of the more difficult search for partners on a “bulletin board”;
|
|
· |
the search by town and by itinerary; and
|
|
· |
access to a wider base of partners that extends beyond Saint-Lazare residents.
|
We therefore encourage all residents to join today and help
develop the network of those who care about the environment!
