I’m new to PiggyBack Network and carpooling, where do I start?

• The first step is to sign up for free. To get matched with a family we need a few pieces of information. Locations where you frequently travel (school, home, gym, fields, etc.). Using these locations we build routes. Once you’ve established a route you can offer to drive and request a ride. The matching process uses your routes to find others nearby going your same direction, same time.
