FDOT has a new site up to promote car pooling. Some neat info on what is provided. ALSO I tried the Driving Costs Calculator, it breaks down how much you approx spend on gas, parking fees & tires over a month and a year.

COOLTOPOOL.COM

It might be neat to see how much we all spend to commute in Jax on average, since we are so sprawled out.

I spend 468.68 monthly and 5624.16 yearly according to this thing. Just getting to and from work! So almost 1 week of pay goes just to getting me here to make the other 3.

I am sorry, but I couldn't resist. I was just coming in from the sweltering heat and I saw pool and thought about a Truck pool

That is an interesting calculator, Apanda .

It says my husband spends nearly $324/mo on his commute, or a little over $15/day, and I would not have guessed it to be so high. Definitely something to think about .
