Spread some eco-love. http://blog.redrocketla.com/2009/06/29/share-a-ride-spread-some-eco-love/ http://blog.redrocketla.com/2009/06/29/share-a-ride-spread-some-eco-love/#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:25:33 +0000 Scott Posner http://blog.redrocketla.com/?p=34 Here’s a bright idea. The website RideAmigos.com coordinates eco-friendly event transportation, allowing people to connect with other event attendees to share a taxi, chauffeured hybrid or carpool.

It works like this: Log on to rideamigos.com and enter your desired commute in the rideamigos ridematcher™. Next, contact a matching amigo, or post your own commute if no match is found. Wait for a response and then enjoy your shared ride, while saving money and reducing pollution!

RideAmigos.com also offers a great marketing angle for companies.  Its proprietary widget lets companies incorporate the ride-sharing functionality into their own websites to promote event or non-event ride sharing. RideAmigos will even measure everyone’s carbon offset at no cost and plant 10-30 trees for each ride taken.

At red rocket LA, one of our clients is TLofts, an eco-friendly, urban loft project. We’re planning to use RideAmigos.com to generate attendance at and PR for its grand opening event.
