Currently, Ohio University has an operating rideshare program/website that is limited to students, faculty, and staff. However, the Athens County Mobility Coordinator is actively meeting with interested parties in the Athens area to explore how we might develop a rideshare program specifically for Athens County. If you are interested in helping or know of someone who has expertise in this area, please have them contact the Athens Mobility Coordinator.

"eRideShare puts the power of the Internet to work, connecting commuters or cross-country travelers going the same way. Put two people together in one car instead of separately in two cars, and the greenhouse emissions are cut in half. This is significant impact. You still get where you want to go, while saving plenty of cash. Maybe you'll even make a new friend or two."

[Note: eRideShare.com also allows businesses and organizations to set up private rideshare sites for up to 200 employees for free.]
