We take the lock out of gridlock.
RideGrid is a service that uses mobile internet
and location technology to enable individuals to obtain
rides to and from any location, spontaneously. Using the
service, rider and driver can evaluate the safety,
convenience and value of riding together before they meet.
They both save on the cost of transportation relative to
driving alone, and in areas with HOV lanes may get to their
destinations faster. RideGrid customers reduce dependence
on foreign oil, consume less energy and produce fewer
greenhouse gases.
RideGrid works by dynamically combining routes. We evaluate the change required in a driver's route such that it passes through the desired source and destination of a compatible rider, and broker the agreement. We have proprietary means to calculate the routes, monetize the transactions, and introduce people to others they trust.
RideGrid is not yet in production, but you can contact us for access to more information. For our partners and associates, we can issue you an account to be able to access the links above. If you are curious, check out the short (2:20) video that shows how driver and rider meet with a java application. Give us a call or an email, we very much value your opinion.
