On August 24, 2009, a motion to eliminate the "Ride Share Program", which consisted of preparing lists of volunteer drivers and those who need rides, carried, unopposed, by acclamation.

This was done in response to the fact that the Ride Share Program, which worked well in the early years of DLV, has not scaled well and has not worked very well at all as our numbers have grown over the recent years.

The Ride Share Program has generated countless complaints over the past few years (both from volunteer drivers and those in need of rides), and the DLV volunteers are unwilling to assume the liability of a more formal program of providing rides to DLV activities. Therefore, it is now stated that each attendee is responsible for providing his or her own transportation to and from the various DLV activities.

This motion does not prohibit the individual activity coordinators from including carpool efforts into the plans of their activities, nor does it prohibit attendees from arranging ride sharing on their own.

Those who are in need of rides to and from the DLV activities, and those with vehicles willing to provide rides to others, are both encouraged to use the DLV Discussion Forum prior to DLV to exchange contact information and coordinate ride share efforts.
