Join this lunchtime webinar with Pooly, Nelson-Tasman’s homegrown carpooling start-up, to hear how shared journeys could become a bigger part of our region’s transport future. The Pooly app is designed to be a friction-free experience so we can all make better use of the journeys already happening on our roads.

Co-Founders Vincent Revell and Ben Walch will share their perspectives on carpooling as one of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce transport emissions while making travel more affordable.

Drawing from overseas learnings, they’ll lay out why Nelson-Tasman is well placed to lead Aotearoa in carpooling adoption.

Pooly is a response to the fuel and cost of living crises, and to limitations of our transport system. It’s also an instrument for community connection. The platform makes it easy to find, book and manage shared journeys, giving drivers and passengers an intuitive and well-organised interface.

Vincent and Ben will share the story behind Pooly and the lessons from its recent local trial. They'll also explain why they believe making better use of the empty seats already travelling our roads can play an important role in the future of regional transport.

The session will include a live demonstration of the Pooly app, giving attendees a practical look at how it works and how carpooling could fit into their everyday journeys.

There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion at the end.

Once registered, you'll receive a Google Meet to the webinar.
