Car Pool Informat ionFor environmental reasons, the Sierra Club strongly

recommends car pooling. However, for insurance reasons,COLs cannot arrange car pools, although members may

voluntarily arrange them among themselves. The COL andother trip participants may (or may not) be present at anarranged car pool location. The Sierra Club and its leaderscan assume no responsibility for the drivers or the vehicles.

Please offer to help reimburse your driver. A sug-gested guideline is based on typical total operating expenses(not just gas): one passenger - 9 cents per mile; two pas-sengers - 7 cents per mile each; three passengers - 5 centsper mile each; four passengers - 4 cents per mile each. Tolls,entrance or parking fees should also be split among thepassengers. If you switch cars, you should still pay your original driver the suggested round trip cost.
