Share a Ride, Make a Difference

RTC SMART TRIPS, in partnership with Greenride, is pleased to offer a free ride matching program for the Truckee Meadows. RTC RIDESHARE is a web-based service that uses advanced technology to make carpool matching easy, fast, convenient, and accurate. Enter your traveling preferences and receive the best potential carpool matches back in a matter of seconds. 

NEW! Find a Bike Buddy with RTC RIDESHARE

Whether you want to start bicycling to work and don't want to ride alone or would like to have company on your weekend rides, the Bike Buddy ridematch service will help you find other cyclists who live and work near you.  New bikers can connect with experienced cyclists to gather tips, route information, and moral support, while experienced bicyclists can find new friends to ride with or novice bicyclists to assist. 

The new service is made possible through a grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). Everyone who indicates an interest in cycling during registration will be sent a bicycle map and safety information from the Department of Traffic Safety Office of Traffic Safety and the RTC.   

When you register with RTC RIDESHARE, you control the personal information that is shown to other travelers, so you know your information is secure. With a click of your mouse you can contact your preferred matches instantly via email to discuss your needs and expectations. You don’t have to carpool every day to make an important difference. Start out trying it one or to two days a week and go from there. Every shared trip benefits both you and our community. 

Listen to the RTC RIDESHARE radio ad "What Does a Carpool Look Like?".

Submit brief information about your commute and RTC RIDESHARE will quickly provide possible matches for carpool partners. Click here to continue to the RTC RIDESHARE website. Also posted online is a carpooling FAQ providing helpful tips for commuters new to carpooling. It is the easiest way to find a ride to work.

If your first visit to the ride matching program provides no matches the first time, please visit again. The ride match database is new and growing every day, so check back often to look for new matches, added information, and incentive programs for ridesharing.

If you have lots of matches, consider joining RTC VANPOOL.
