Carpooling is the commuting mode of 18 to 20% 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 carnool. The paper also addresses the issue of the feasibility of a substantial increase in carpool mode share.
