Ride with Waze Carpool!
After much consideration and review, Carlyle has decided to drop Zimride as rideshare option. We gave the platform our all and tried hard to market and promote the service within our community. Enrollment was very low and we felt it best to go in a different direction, to better serve our residents and workers. The last day for the Carlyle Zimride discount is October 31st, 2019.
