Fall is here, and in Houston, that means more traffic. Between events, school in session, and weekend plans, your usual drive can turn into a crawl. But this year? There’s a better way — carpooling with ConnectSmart is your speedy shortcut through congestion with HOV routing.
Why Instant Carpool is Your Game-Changer
💲No waiting. Money saved. Take an Instant Carpool with your buddy using the ConnectSmart app to take advantage of the HOV lane. You’ll save money on gas and parking! Trip logged. Rewards activated. You’re on your way.
🛣️ Skip the traffic full of solo drives. Especially when heading into Downtown, the Galleria, Upper Kirby, NRG, and the Memorial areas, these are the busy places where Instant Carpool truly pays off – saving you time and reducing traffic.
🪙 Potential for bonus rewards after every carpool. Each trip counts, whether you’re a driver or rider, with our new spinwheel feature. And yes — there’s a chance to win a green ConnectSmart Stanley Cup just for carpooling with someone else.
