Miscellaneous Resolution # 81103
BY: Dr. G. William Caddell
IN RE: SUPPORT OF SHARE A RIDE AND SAVE PROGRAM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the increasingly popular practice of individuals voluntarily pooling in
private or sponsor-provided cars and vans for commuting trips is commonly referred to as
"Ridesharing"; and
WHEREAS, Ridesharing is frequently the only practical and economical alternative to
expensive single-person automobile trips; and
WHEREAS, Ridesharing opportunities are difficult to discover without assistance of
some community-wide coordinating agency: and
WHEREAS, Ridesharing has been successfully promoted and coordinated in selected
Oakland County areas as a demonstration project by the Oakland County Road Commission: and
WHEREAS, Ridesharing services on a county-wide basis are now being offered by the
Road Commission, which has also been designated local representative of the State's Michi Van
Program and with a grant from the Michigan Energy Administration; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Road Commission is creating awareness of its services
through a "Share a Ride and Save" campaign, particularly to inform and enlist employers
as Ridesharing sponsors; and
WHEREAS, the Road Commission is able to provide technical expertise and other
assistance to employer-sponsors, who will incur little or no cost; and
WHEREAS, employer-sponsors can make significant contributions toward reducing
American dependence on foreign oil, reducing air pollution, and reducing traffic accidents; and
WHEREAS, Ridesharing sponsors help individuals save personal costs of operating and
maintaining single-occupancy automobiles, and thus provide a valuable public service.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
endorses the Oakland County Road Commission's "Share a Ride and Save" campaign and
encourages Oakland County individuals and employers to participate.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
