NOTE: RIDE Solutions DOES NOT provide one-time rides, medical transport, free transit passes, transportation subsidies, or any direct financial assistance. RIDE Solutions offers free commuter services to residents in the greater Roanoke, Lynchburg, Martinsville/Danville, and New River Valley regions. Services include carpool matching, transit, walking, and biking routing assistance for commuters. Carpool matching is managed through the www.ridesolutions.org website or by downloading the ConnectingVA app for iOS or Android. Examples of employee transportation services: • Free carpool matching to help reduce transportation expenses to get to work. • Transit support for commuters unfamiliar with their local transit agency. • Vanpool start-up assistance for employers. • Bicycle commuting support for employees with qualifying commutes. • Emergency Ride Home incentives so participating commuters do not get stuck at work without a ride. Residents who participate in the RIDE Solutions program can earn rewards for logging their carpool, bike, transit, vanpool, or telework trips. While the carpool matching service is free and open to anyone, whether or not they have a vehicle, we cannot guarantee that we will have a match for any particular commuter. Our matching program relies on having an available commuter in the database who matches the route and schedule of the requestor. Once in the database, RIDE Solutions continuously searches for new matches for our commuters and notifies them immediately if a new match is generated.
