Please keep these Ride Share Etiquette points in mind while traveling. • Be on time. Decide how long the driver is expected to wait for passengers before leaving. • Be respectful of the driver’s vehicle. Agree beforehand on whether it is OK to smoke, eat or drink in the vehicle. Never leave trash in the vehicle. As a driver, keep your vehicle clean and tidy. • If you are driving, drive carefully and obey all traffic laws. Speeding and aggressive driving may make riders feel unsafe. Make sure all passengers are wearing their seat belts. • Be mindful of anything that might bother other riders/drivers. For example, excessive talking might distract the driver or bother people who prefer quiet. Talking on a mobile phone may also disturb some people, so make sure it’s OK with everyone first. • Clarify in advance the amount of luggage you will be bringing to ensure there is room. • Try to avoid requesting changes to the schedule and follow through on your commitments. This will create trust and show respect to your fellow ride sharers. Don’t make unexpected stops for errands unless it is agreed upon by all ride share members. • Be considerate of passengers when listening to music, news or talk radio. • Avoid wearing products with strong scents. Strong perfumes, colognes or hair products may be irritating to others in the car. Wartburg College Sustainability 12/2015
