DMB and Reverb are expanding the greening efforts for the summer tour with PickupPal, a green ride-share service. The Eco-Rideshare program is the first of its kind in the music tour industry and will help drivers and riders carpool to shows, helping concertgoers reduce their carbon footprint.

PickupPal is waiving their driver commission for DMB fans traveling to shows this summer. To learn more about the program, people can register with PickupPal [1](free) and enter shows that they may be driving to or need a ride to. DMB concertgoers who participate will also be eligible to win prizes provided by Dave Matthews Band.

FYI: Launched in January 2008, PickupPal's core service is providing a venue for either passengers or packages to find or be matched to a driver—for a small commission. At the core of PickupPal's technology is a high-performance Geographic Information System (GIS) software application that sorts and matches based pre-engineered criteria.
