Large employers, universities and government agencies use our powerful apps and programs to influence smarter commuter behavior that reduces congestion, parking demand, and environmental impact while creating healthier, happier communities.
We have helped our clients take tens of millions of cars off the road, saved commuters hundreds of millions of dollars, and reduce our collective CO2 footprint by 280 million pounds.
We believe in the combined power of science and collaboration to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. With that in mind, we are continually reinvesting in partnerships and initiatives to advance the science of commuter behavior and transportation demand management. Here are a few of the ways we are working to empower leaders and create change.
RideAmigos Labs supports research that advances the science of transportation demand management. We partner with researchers and organizations in the public and private sector to make groundbreaking findings available to practitioners around the world.
The RideAmigos Academy is a support and success community where Transportation Demand Management and HR professionals using RideAmigos solutions can learn new skills, network, and share best practices.
CommuteCon was founded as a free, online conference in 2015 with a mission to create the best virtual opportunities for TDM leaders to learn and exchange ideas. Thousands of transportation leaders attend CommuteCon each year.
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development is a global community of businesses working to accelerate the transformations toward a sustainable and equitable future. RideAmigos contributes expertise to projects on commuting behavior change and mobility data and digitization.
RideAmigos is proud to be a corporate partner of the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT), an international association and leading advocate for commuter transportation and transportation demand management.
RideAmigos was born in New York City, as our Co-Founder, Jeffrey Chernick, was trying to find a more efficient way to get uptown to work each day. Coupled with a passion for environmental and community health, Jeffrey’s daily commuting challenge blossomed into an opportunity to change the way people moved around the city. With his childhood friend, Evan Meyer, he founded a company focused on helping people share more rides and take cars off the road. Soon after, Ben Dalton joined as third co-founder and CTO.
Since then, RideAmigos has gone from building some of the earliest web-based ride matching tools to offering a suite of cloud commute management solutions, programs, and apps used by regional agencies, transportation management organizations, and some of the world’s top employers.
Through it all, we have built a mission-focused and research-driven company where people flourish and innovation and commuter-centered design is a way of life.
We are a global team of people passionate about sustainable mobility for all.
