Carpooling Information

The University encourages employees who drive to work to participate in car pools. The electronic bulletin board is a good place to connect with others traveling on your schedule.  To post your commuting schedule, go to https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/bboard/hr/carpool/  (you may need to type in your University  ID and password), select “New Posting,” type “Available–[Your Borough/City and State]” in the cc line, provide detailed information, and select “Send Message.”  To indicate that you need a ride, do the same thing but type “Needed–[Your Borough/City and State]” in the cc line.  To check for and respond to available rides, click on the posted listings.

In addition, there is a Commuter Lounge Bulletin Board in the basement of Main Hall at Teachers College and  in the Interchurch Center Office, Room 253.

On the Health Sciences Campus, the Office of the Deputy Vice President for Space and Facilities Planning connects and networks carpooling information. For additional information call (212) 305-5738.

At Lamont, the Personnel Office administers carpool networking. For information, call (845) 365-8840.
