Carpooling
Car pooling arrangements vary depending which state the activity is in. Check you state restrictions that vary from time to time.
Each person needs to feel that they are not at risk or presenting a risk to others because of their individual circumstances. For this reason the decision to car pool, according to the guidelines, must be a personal one and individuals are welcome to make their own travel arrangements.
