Carpool to work with Ride at Stanford
Follow these three steps to a better commute:
- Sign up at ride.com. Join as a driver or rider – either way you’ll save money.
- Ride will match you with co-workers who have a similar route and schedule. Let Ride facilitate the communications and logistics to get you started.
- Ride and save up to 100% (drivers) or 40% (riders) of your current commute costs.
Benefits of Ride:
- Payments are managed through the Ride app, so there’s no awkward conversations about the exchange of money.
- Guaranteed Ride ensures you have access to a vehicle for errands or to get home in case of an emergency or unexpected overtime. This provides broader coverage than Stanford’s Emergency Ride Home program.
If you have questions, contact hello@ride.com.
Things to note when you carpool
- Carpool vehicles are required to have a FasTrak toll tag to receive the carpool discount on any Bay Area toll bridge, and must use a designated carpool lane to qualify for the discount.
- Eligible commuters may receive Carpool Credit by joining the Stanford Commute Club.
