THURSDAY,
As the knots of the energy
crunch tighten General Tele­
phone Company of the North­
west has turned to company
computers to aid its more than
1,500 employees in Oregon in
establishing car pools to ease
fuel consumption.
The program is called Com­
pute A Ride and through it em
ployees are put in contact with
other employees, working the
same shift, and living in the
vicinity of other employees
The system employs a series
of colorful posters, placed at
work locations through out the
company’s operating area
Attached to the posters is a
pad of application forms which
employees use to make their
transportation needs, or wants,
known They can stipulate three
choices: “ Ride Wanted", “ Rid­
ers Wanted” , or “ Car Pool".
Employees checking “ Ride
Wanted" are those who prefer to
ride with someone else; those
checking "Riders Wanted” , are
w illing to drive every dav and
share the cost; checking the
"C ar Pool” block on the form
indicates the employee wants to
form a pool with all members
taking a turn driving to work
Data furnished on the form is
fed into the computer which
provides three printouts, one for
each category of Compute-A-
Ride. These printouts are by
work location and tell other
workers the name, address,
work location and phone number
of the person seeking to connect
w ith a “ rid e ", “ riders” , or those
form ing a “ car pool” in a
particular residential neighbor­
hood,
An employee who is concerned
and wants to help alleviate the
fuel shortage by either one of the
three routes, fills out three appli­
cation forms and his name
appears on all three print-outs.
The print-outs are attached to
the posters for two weeks—so
other employees can make con­
tact to work out a travel
arrangement. After two weeks-a
new print-out appears.
