Zipride.com is an easy-to-use ridesharing website. We fill empty seats across the region by linking drivers and riders who want to share rides. Sharing a ride with just one other person reduces emissions by 50% for that distance!

We call ourselves a "not-profit" - we are a licensed business, but any profits get reinvested directly into the promotion of zipride.com. The more people who use zipride.com, the bigger the reduction of level 3 greenhouse gases. Safety: With unique safety features like user profiles, rating systems, and user feedback, zipride.com makes it easier and safer to share rides.

Aside from reducing emissions and helping users save money on gas, zipride.com also builds community. Your neighbors aren't that bad, right? Zipride.com helps people reconnect in their communities. Zipride.com also conducts signup drives. A certain amount of new users gets a certain amount of money to local organizations. CISA (www.buylocalfood.com) and Seeds of Solidarity (www.seedsofsolidarity.org) are zipride.com's targeted recipients for the month of October.

The fewer cars on the road, the lower the demand to build new infrastructure. The lower the demand, the more preservation that occurs naturally.
