Welcome Roanoke Times Employees
Put your Commute to Work
Driving alone to work? Don't. Put your commute to work for you - carpool with a coworker to share the cost of gas; walk or bicycle and get in your daily workout; or take the bus and use your commute time to plan your day, read the newspaper, or listen to your iPod.
Let RIDE Solutions help you save time and money by connecting you to your commuting options with our FREE carpool matching service. Or register with us for the free Guaranteed Ride Home benefit and never worry about being stuck without a ride, missing the bus, or being caught in a storm with nothing but your bicycle helmet to keep the rain off.
