Cool Pool Day
“Fill up your car- with people!”
Friday July 16, Celebrate 2 Years of Online Carpooling in Tasmania with Cool Pool Tas:
www.coolpooltas.com.au
Cool Pool Tas is set to celebrate two years of online carpooling in Tasmania by encouraging commuters
to share a ride into Hobart this Friday.
To continue the challenging task of building up a critical carpooling culture, Cool Pool Tas has teamed
together with the Hobart City Council and Baha’i Centre of Learning who are providing exclusive
carpool only free parking zones on Friday which will be open from 7am- The major challenge beingthat
you must have a passenger to park for free!! The free parking will be provided in designated areas
of the Baha’i Centre of Learning, with overflow at the Hobart Regatta Grounds.
With this incentive and words from Cool Pool Tas Founder Georgi Marshall to “fill up your car- with
people” Cool Pool Tas endeavors to prepare Tasmania for foreseeable price rises in fuel & parking.
Moreover, it is only a matter of time that there will be no choice but to change our behavioral patterns
from independent travel to carpooling and public transportation options. Such that, this Friday Cool
Pool Tas is encouraging you to trial a Cool Pool, if you aren’t already connected, whether it be
informally with friends or work colleagues or formally by signing up as a Cool Pooler on Cool Pool
Tas’s website-which is free.
Given that this is a celebration, Cool Pool Tas would like to extend an invitation for you to end your
day by coming to meet with other cool poolers and support their 2 year anniversary, at a “Cinq a Sept”
(5-7pm) event to be held at the Baha’i Centre of Learning, 1 Tasman Hwy. The evening event will not
only inform commuters more about the online carpooling resource but provide a safe and friendly
environment to meet with fellow commuters and share some of Cool Pool Tas’s achievements over the
past couple of years. Beanies will also be on sale as part of a small fundraiser initiative for Cool Pool
Tas as well as a great raffle drive with prizes sponsored by the Hobart Aquatic Centre, Republic Bar
and Cafe, State Cinema and Masaki’s Sushi.
Cool Pool Tas congratulates and thanks the Hobart City Council, the RACT and Baha’i Centre of
Learning, as well as our aforementioned raffle sponsors, for getting behind Cool Pool Day- they are our
newly welcomed CAR STARS- or carbon avoidance road stars! We hope that the rest of you will be
too!
