It is a service that rescues you from the stress and high cost of driving daily back and forth alone. Ride along consists of carpooling and vanpooling. Carpools work best when the members live near one another and travel to the same area on a regular basis. They use a car owned by one of the carpool members.
Users can choose a single driver or they can alternate.
Through the Ride along program, RTA will assist you in finding other participants who have the same basic travel pattern and schedule as you do. By participating in the Ride along program you will save money normally spent on personal vehicles. In addition, the Ride along program saves tax dollars and it is good for the environment because, with fewer vehicles in use, air pollution is reduced and fewer rubber tires and oil disposal measures are needed. Call 884-8400 for more information or to sign up to participate. Current service is Monday through Friday.
