A Grosse Pointe neighbor project
Somebody on your street is already driving that way.
GP Carpool is a plain bulletin board. Parents who can take an extra kid post their drop-off area and open seats. Parents who need a ride post what they need. You find each other, then you call and sort it out like neighbors always have.

This is a neighbor-to-neighbor bulletin board put together by a Grosse Pointe resident. It is independent and volunteer-run, and it is not affiliated with, operated by, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Grosse Pointe Public School System, Grosse Pointe South, Grosse Pointe North, or any other GPPSS school. Nobody at the district has anything to do with it.
- • We don't schedule rides, take money, or run any kind of logistics.
- • We don't screen, verify, or background-check anyone. No license, insurance, or driving record is checked.
- • You post what you can do or what you need, you find each other, and the rest happens by phone between the two of you.
- • Your phone number stays hidden unless you check the box to show it.

Why this exists
Grosse Pointe isn't a full-busing district. Bus eligibility is limited, in-district transfers get no bus service at all, and plenty of kids fall outside the lines — so walking, biking, or a parent driving has always carried more of the load here. Recent school closures and boundary changes put some kids farther from their assigned school than before, and a meaningful number now have to get across or along I-94 to get there. That isn't a walk most parents are comfortable with, especially for younger kids or in bad weather.
