TopicRide-Sharing
ContentSince one of the greatest problems facing our nation is energy consumption and, therefore, dependence on foreign oil, I propose we change the culture of Oklahoma's carpool culture. Right now, there is no incentive for a driver to take on a rider, but if the state government made certification for drivers and riders it could create a new system that would change this culture. My idea is that certified riders would be able to purchase "OK-2-RIDE" stamps. These stamps would be worth a certain amount and would be payable to the certified driver depending on the distance of the drive. This would provide an economic incentive for drivers to take on passengers. Those stamps would be redeemable for up to $0.95 on the dollar with 5 cents going to the state government for administrative expenses.
