Carpooling can be an efficient alternative for managing this transport demand. Carpooling benefits are not limited to reducing emissions and energy consumption: users can also benefit in the reduction in travel costs and travel time using high-occupancy vehicle lanes, as well as reducing commuting stress. The organization of such a system is not easy to carry out individually. Institutions and companies with a high number of employees are suitable for carpooling initiatives, and the education sector holds a high number of workers. Considering the large number of teachers and the fact that many of them are regular drivers, the sector presents an opportunity to design a formal carpooling transport system. This paper presents the design of a proposal for a carpooling system among workers from the education sector in the region of Andalusia, Spain. The system yielded relevant benefits such as cost savings, emissions reductions, and a high number of potential users. The designed system can potentially improve transport conditions for workers in commuting displacements and reduce occupational traffic accidents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su142114601","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,7]],"date-time":"2022-11-07T03:10:46Z","timestamp":1667790646000},"page":"14601","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Proposal for an Institutional Carpooling System among Workers from the Public-Education Sector"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9236-5792","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda del Carmen","family":"Rey-Merch\u00e1n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Consejer\u00eda de Educacion y Deporte, Junta de Andaluc\u00eda, 18071 Granada, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2477-1227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"L\u00f3pez-Arquillos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Economics and Business Management Department, University of M\u00e1laga, 29071 Malaga, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5017-6408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Pires Rosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CinTurs\u2014Research Center for Tourism Sustainability and Well-Being, University of Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5960-3453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas Manuel","family":"G\u00f3mez-de-Gabriel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"System Engineering and Automation Department, School of Industrial Engineering, University of M\u00e1laga, 29071 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"117","article-title":"Criterios para la coordinaci\u00f3n entre planes de movilidad y planes de ordenaci\u00f3n urbana en Espa\u00f1a = Criteria for the coordination between mobility plans and urban planning in Spain","volume":"14","author":"Schettino","year":"2018","journal-title":"Territ.
