The University of Cologne provides “PENDLA”, a platform for arranging carpooling among students and staff. The aim is to make commuting more efficient and environmentally friendly while also reducing costs.
Users can find suitable ride-sharing options free of charge or offer their own trips. This helps to better coordinate travel and make more efficient use of existing road capacity.
For the platform to work as effectively as possible, active participation is essential: the more people use it, the easier it becomes to form suitable carpooling arrangements. By inviting colleagues or fellow students, users help expand the network and further improve opportunities for more cost-effective and environmentally friendly commuting.
