Join the Get There Challenge October 7 - 21!

Get There is the new, easy-to-use, web-based carpooling tool from Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Get There (previously Drive Less Connect) helps Oregonians plan trips, share rides on single trips or on a regular basis, and more.

Log in or create an account to find other people who need to take a similar route. Share the cost of transportation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating the need to drive alone. In addition to carpool matching, Get There also provides transit, biking and walking directions, as well as vanpool options.

Automatically track your commutes by connecting your account to the Commute Tracker app.

From October 7 - 21, Get There will host the annual Get There Challenge (formerly the Oregon Drive Less Challenge).
