❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How does the matching system work? +
Our system matches you based on your ZIP code, travel direction (TO/FROM event), time preferences, and transportation needs. You'll receive daily email updates with compatible carpool partners in your area. The closer you are to someone and the more your schedules align, the higher they'll appear in your matches.
What if I don't receive any matches? +
If you're not getting matches, it could mean:
  • Few people have signed up from your area yet (encourage friends to join!)
  • Your time preferences are very specific (try selecting more flexible options)
  • Your transportation needs don't align with available drivers/riders nearby
Be patient as more people sign up closer to the event.
What is the access code? +
The access code ensures only verified event attendees can use the system. You'll receive the code through official event communications. Enter it when filling out the signup form to activate your account.

Safety

Is this service safe? +
We take safety seriously, but please note:
  • We do NOT verify user identities or perform background checks
  • All participants are event attendees with valid access codes
  • We recommend video/phone chatting before meeting in person
  • Always meet in a public place first
  • Share your carpool plans with someone you trust
  • Trust your instincts - if something feels off, don't proceed
What is the women-only carpool option? +
Users who select "Women-only" preference will only be matched with other women who have also selected this option. This provides an additional comfort level for those who prefer it.

Managing Your Registration

How do I edit my preferences? +
Look for the "Forms response receipts" email you received from Google Forms after signing up. Click the "Edit Response" link in that email to update your details anytime.
How do I stop receiving emails? +
You have several options:
  • Click "Found a Carpool" or "Pause Matching" in any match email
  • Email [email protected] requesting removal
  • Edit your form response and change your status
What if my plans change after confirming? +
Click the "Cancel Carpool" link in your confirmation email. Both you and your partner will be notified, and you'll both be returned to the matching pool to find new partners.

About the Service

Is this an official event service? +
No. CarpoolMatcher is a free, volunteer-run service created by fellow meditators. We are NOT affiliated with or endorsed by event organizers or the Isha Foundation.
Does this cost anything? +
No! This service is completely free. We're volunteers who want to help reduce traffic and help attendees connect.
