The Importance of Community
Community engagement has always been important to The Rideshare Company. With our organization starting out as a resource center and ridematch system in the early 1980s, we have always had close ties to our local community and the people we work with and help.
Our work has evolved so much over the last four decades, with a large emphasis placed on providing lift-equipped and wheelchair accessible vehicles to organizations that work with the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) through our easy fleet program.
The Art of Brainstorming
This week at Rideshare, we’re doing some serious team brainstorming. With our CEO Nanci Fitzgerald taking the wheel in 2021, we are embracing the new era our organization is entering. We have the grand opportunity to grow, shift our focus, care for our existing clients, and build new connections.
With our small but mighty team, the only way to do it right is to put all of our heads together in a team brainstorm session. Notebooks full of ideas and ordering in lunch will surely get our wheels turning.

How We’re Spending Earth Month at Rideshare
At the Rideshare office, the work we do each day is helping people around the US reduce their carbon footprint by sharing the ride. We move people together every day, and in the last 25 years, our company has reduced CO2 in our air by over 700 million pounds.
So, how do we go the extra mile during a special time like Earth Month each April? We work together to make changes in our daily lives to do a little more to reduce our individual carbon footprints! Coming together makes the effort feel like teamwork, and it’s great to share what we’ve been doing both in the office and at home.
With Earth Day coming up this Saturday, April 22nd, let’s get green!
