RIDEAUSTIN, IS THE WORLD'S FIRST NONPROFIT RIDESHARE COMPANY, SERVING THE AUSTIN TX COMMUNITY WITH COMPETITIVELY PRICED RIDESHARE SERVICES. OUR UNIQUE "ROUND UP" FEATURE ALLOWS RIDERS TO DONATE A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR FARE TO LOCAL CHARITIES. THROUGH THE ROUND UP FEATURE, RIDEAUSTIN HAS RAISED OVER $440,000 FROM INCEPTION TO FISCAL YEAR-END 2022. IN ADDITION, RIDE AUSTIN PARTNERS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE FREE RIDES TO LOW INCOME AND UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. DONATIONS, ALONG WITH FEES FROM EVERY RIDEAUSTIN RIDE, HELP COVER THE COSTS OF THE EXPENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT OUR VALUABLE COMMUNITY PROGRAMS.THE ORGANIZATION SUSPENDED OPERATIONS IN MARCH 2020, DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS RELATED TO THE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC. THE ORGANIZATION REMAINED INACTIVE DURING 2022.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

SINCE LAUNCH IN 2016 THROUGH 2022, RIDERS WHO CHOSE TO MAKE DIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS TO LOCAL CHARITIES VIA THE RIDE AUSTIN MOBILE APPLICATION CONTRIBUTED APPROXIMATELY $440,000 OF "ROUND UP" CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR FARES. THESE CONTRIBUTIONS WERE DESIGNATED BETWEEN OVER 60 DIFFERENT LOCAL CHARITIES, AND AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022, APPROXIMATELY $440,000 IN CASH GRANTS HAD BEEN MADE TO 55 LOCAL CHARITIES ON BEHALF OF RIDER DONATIONS. AS THESE WERE CASH DONATIONS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDE FARE, RIDE AUSTIN RECOGNIZED NO ADDITIONAL REVENUE OR INCURRED ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSE RELATED TO THESE CASH GRANTS.


AS PART OF OUR MISSION WE PROVIDE REDUCED FARE AND FREE FARE RIDES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. OUR DRIVERS ARE STILL COMPENSATED FOR THE MARKET RATE OF THESE RIDES TAKEN WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL DRIVER FEES.


RIDE AUSTIN IS CREATED FOR THE COMMUNITY, BY THE COMMUNITY. THE FOUNDERS OF RIDE AUSTIN AND ITS COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS BELIEVE THAT TRANSPORTATION SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE, AND THAT RIDESHARING MADE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH MOBILE NETWORKS IS A PATH TO GREATER MOBILITY AND EQUITY. RIDE AUSTIN ACTIVELY SUPPORTS OTHER COMMUNITY CHARITIES DIRECTLY THROUGH ITS TRANSPORTATION NETWORK APPLICATION AND INDPENDENTLY THROUGH SELECT GRANT MAKING.
