Notes from the Archives

In 1974 the School of Mines, in cooperation with the Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce, spearheaded a carpool project.  Interested parties submitted their contact information as well as home and work locations and expected schedules and received a list of prospective carpool partners.  Maybe it’s time to revisit this idea?  We might save some gasoline, wear and tear on vehicles and roads, and maybe even free up a parking place or two.
