Farms on the Outskirks of Delmar

|

Riding my mountain bike out to Five Rivers I often observe the Posted Signs to see who owns the farms and farmland in the still agricultural area just outside of Delmar. While this might not be all of the farm holdings in the area, this covers the major parcels and owners -- LaGrange, Haskell, Hope, Jersey Meadows, Lyman, Mead, Neff, Preska, Walenmaier and Vadney.

Ride Sharing Should Be Carpooling

|

I hate the euthanasism of ride sharing – which is a limousine service that is  dispatched by a phone app. 

Real ride sharing is called carpooling. Already many government agencies offer hotlines and provide park and ride lots for carpooling. There should be better apps for carpooling because apps would be a great way for people to meet who are heading the same direction and could share a ride. Meet new friends, save gas, reduce traffic and pollution. 

Ideally a carpool app would be linked into government databases at the DMV to ensure people are meeting up with safe drivers and that passengers and drivers aren’t violent criminals. While administering such a database and credentialing drivers and passengers wouldn’t be free, it would be in the public’s interest to make such a service  free for the public to use. 

A publicly run app based  carpooling service, using GPS tracking and with proper credentialing of drivers and riders would be a very good step forward for every state to adapt.
