Reinvigorating Carpooling – Findings from and Implications of ACT’s State of Carpooling Study

Explore the State of Carpooling in greater depth
Plus, two other can't-miss opportunities on our calendar
ACT recently released its State of Carpooling 2026: Global Trends, Case Studies, and Implications, the first comprehensive assessment of carpooling practice in decades. The study's goal was to develop best practices and lessons learned from examining 10 high-performing carpool programs in the US and abroad.
It found that programs differed in many ways due to their circumstances and structures lacking any set of best practices that could be uniformly applied to other carpool programs. Instead, it developed a Carpool Program Diagnostic Framework that allows organizations that operate carpool programs to identify and strengthen conditions that contribute to better performing programs.
Join us for a discussion on October 1 at 2 p.m. ET on the importance of the study’s findings and how practitioners can use the Framework to help improve performance. The study’s leading author, Mia Zmud of Blue Door Strategy & Research, will provide an overview of the study and the Diagnostic Framework.
Attendees will then discuss issues arising from the study’s findings:
- How does the Framework compare to what TDM program managers and organizations experience with the operations of their carpool programs?
- Does the Framework provide a useful way to assess performance?
- How can we translate the Framework into a practical tool that assesses program strengths, performance gaps, and helps prioritize future investments?
ACT's calendar is packed with virtual learning, training, and discussion! You won't want to miss these two upcoming events. Get the details below and save your spots while you still can.
