Award Winning Software Launched for Panhandle Commuters

Commuters in the Florida panhandle have just been handed a powerful new tool to help them find and schedule commuter transportation for work, technical school, or college.

Funded by the Florida Department of Transportation, the RideOn program serves to help achieve a longtime goal of reducing the number of single occupant vehicles here in Florida. The RideOn app is available at no cost to Floridians and provides access to information and scheduling for a multitude of commuting options from carpooling and vanpooling to scheduled transit routes and even recommended walking and bicycling routes.

“This app gives users the power to find, schedule, and log all their commutes”, said Tom Thompson, Commuting Coordinator at ARPC. “Fewer cars on the road and in parking lots is great for all of us,” he added, “but saving money and getting free stuff by using the app is awesome”.

The RideOn team is working hard to constantly foster new partnerships with employers, commuters, transportation providers, and institutions of higher learning to provide options and support for everyone who will benefit from this initiative. For more information, please visit www.rideontogether.org.
