Ride Share Opportunities

  • Zimride.com - Zimride takes advantage of Facebook, enabling members to create personal profiles and select ride mates who share similar music tastes, favorite sports teams, or who just seem "normal."
  • GoLoco.org - Share rides to work, concerts, sporting events, or even the farmers' market using GoLoco. The company's web site utilizes Facebook's social networking platform, enabling users to create personal profiles and choose compatible riding companions.
  • Nuride.com - Nuride is an online ride sharing service with more than 28,000 members who receive reward points for sharing rides. The service operates just like an airline membership rewards program.
  • PickupPal.com - Combine your ride sharing trips with package delivery to earn a little extra cash on the way. Pickup Pal connects drivers, passengers, and packages heading in the same direction to consolidate trips and thus lower carbon greenhouse gas emissions.
  • RideAmigos.com - Connect with people going your way to share a taxicab or a car anywhere on Earth. Companies can use the service to help fellow employees coordinate trips together.
  • Shearling.com - Connect with fellow travelers looking to share a road trip using Shareling's interactive maps that show available rides around the globe. It's budget and planet-friendly.
