RIDE Solutions recognizes the importance of volunteer work to the Roanoke and New River valleys, and that organizations that rely on a vital volunteer force often don't have the resources to subsidize driving and parking costs. And if you're a volunteer, the schedule demands and short hours of volunteer work may make it difficult for you to form carpools, take public transit, or use other forms of alternative transportation as a way to help improve regional air quality. The RIDE Solutions Volunteer Commuter program can help match volunteers with other volunteers -- either at the same organization or across organizations -- using broader match criteria. If you are a volunteer without a regular schedule, RIDE Solutions may be able to work with your organization's Volunteer Coordinator to find an option that works for you.
As a member of the Volunteer Services program, you are eligible for all regular benefits offered by RIDE Solutions, including the
Guaranteed Ride Home program.
