Access Radical Rideshare

</aside>

Why does this matter?

• Ride-sharing offers a multitude of benefits, including cost savings on transportation, reduced traffic congestion, and a positive impact on the environment.  By encouraging carpooling and shared rides, ride-sharing will contribute to the overall sustainability of transportation at Freezer Burn.

How does it work?

• Check the map to see if there’s someone nearby or on the way to Freezer Burn that might be offering a ride. Similarly, you can see if anyone needs a ride on your route to Freezer Burn.
• If none are available, create a post indicating that you’re looking for a ride and what the potential driver should know. If you’re offering a ride, let them know how many seats you have available, how much space you have for cargo and other rules you may have.
• To ensure a positive ride-sharing experience, both passengers and drivers should prioritize clear communication, respect each others time and personal space. Additionally, being friendly and considerate goes a long way in creating a pleasant ride for everyone involved.

To offer a ride, simply click on the “Add a Trip” button and fill out the details. You may need to quickly verify your email address.

And if you’re looking for a ride and do see one already available, click on the “Create an Alert” button to get notified when a near you becomes available.

Do you need an account to use this?

• NOPE! That’s entirely optional.

How many people can catch a ride in one vehicle and will it have room for my stuff?

• That depends on who you catch a ride with. If the person offering the ride doesn’t clarify this in their post, you can just ask them!

Why is this better than just using Facebook/Meta?

• You can easily see on the app where existing ride-offers or ride-share requests are located. No more combing through Facebook group posts or having your post quickly vanish as other posts show up.
• All of your other personal information isn’t accidentally shared with the public
• Unlike social media platforms and their algorithms, this software is open-source! That means much better security and transparency with your data.
• Social media companies don’t align with the 10 Principles and that matters. Lets expect better of the tools we use. leave social platforms behind and start using tools that don’t subject us to endless advertising, sell our personal information to the highest bidder or intentionally manipulate our emotions to keep us hooked on their product. Lets expect better.
