We’re calling it now—2024 is the year of the commuter.
The world is ushering in a new era of transportation with electrification at the forefront, and seeing commuters change their behavior—or at least try—is not unrealistic.
Especially in the beginning of the new year, people are looking to make small positive changes in their daily life that we have come to know as resolutions. A great place to start is by improving something we all do every single day—moving around our world.
We have entered The Most Wonderful Time of the Year with cheerful decorations popping up everywhere, radio stations playing nonstop holiday music, and all our favorite seasonal movies making an appearance on every channel and streaming service.
With all this comes many perceived notions about the holiday season. When people think about the holidays, they envision festive social gatherings, traditions, and happy memories.
The key to any good gift is choosing something thoughtful, useful, and affordable. Can’t bare the thought of giving another candle, fuzzy blanket, or gift card? We have an interesting avenue to go down for gift giving.
The holiday season brings an abundance of opportunities to support businesses with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas right around the corner. Have you considered celebrating the spirit of the season in a different way, like donating to your favorite nonprofit?
Our team at The Rideshare Company is proud to open our hearts each year in throwing our annual event, Power of Ability Night, each summer. We host a sponsored Hartford Yard Goats game on their home field at Dunkin’ Park and are able to invite our clients and customers to come and join us for a night of baseball, community, and fun!
Many of our attendees are adults with disabilities, residents of group homes, and participants at adult day centers throughout Connecticut. We have become a part of these communities through our easy fleet program. We provide wheelchair-accessible and lift equipped vehicles to these facilities so that they can easily and affordably move their people together.
As a nonprofit, we fund this event solely through donations and fundraising. It is so rewarding to see exactly where each donation goes. A $10 gift can cover the two meal vouchers we provide to a guest and their caregiver. A $25 donation becomes a guest and their caregiver’s tickets to the game!
What do you say—Are you ready to step up to the plate and help us make Power of Ability Night 2024 the best one yet?
This Giving Tuesday, we would be so honored to accept donations from members of our community through our brand new online donation platform. Help us in celebrating the differences that make each person within our client base special and powerful.
The holiday season is gearing up with Thanksgiving right around the corner. This time of year brings the joy of family gatherings and festive travels. However, daily traffic jams, crowded parking lots, the complexities of air travel, and being safe among other drivers can quickly turn up the heat even with a festive chill in the air.
In this blog post, we're unwrapping the gift of stress-free holiday travel with a sleighful of ways that ridesharing can keep the season merry and bright.
