What is Rideshare?

Bust out your roller blades, saddle up your horse, or dust off your heelies because these are technically all forms of rideshare!

The growing population is straining our resources

Our region is growing. It’s estimated that by 2040, the Louisville area will see a 26% increase in population.

While this is wonderful for our economy, this also means an increase in traffic and harmful vehicle emissions. It’s important to start changing commuting habits now to prepare for a brighter future. By getting involved with our program, you can help reduce congestion and improve air quality now and in the future.

ECC Animation Ridesharing

Rideshare isn’t just ordering an Uber or Lyft. Any form of transportation besides a single-occupancy motor vehicle is considered rideshare.

Most people know rideshare as two or more people riding to work or any other event together. But rideshare is bigger than that. It includes:

  • Group transportation such as carpooling and vanpooling
  • Nonmotorized forms of transportation such as bicycles
  • Working from home some or all days, also known as “Telework”
26% projected population growth means more traffic on already-crowded roads
50%+ growth is predicted in four counties: Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Bullitt
100% of the areas with projected job growth of 10,000+ are in Jefferson County

Rideshare is easier and more flexible than you might think.
