After viewing several posters and flyers announcing UVa's partnership with NuRide, I began to wonder what exactly is this program?
NuRide is an eco-friendly business promoting the use of public transportation, carpooling, walking, biking, and even tele-communting (working from home, coffee shop, etc, to prevent a daily commute). How NuRide works is that members sign up and record the numbers of trips they took using either public transportation, carpooling, walking, etc, the money they saved on those trips, and the emissions they saved by commuting "green". Members receive NuRide points that can be redeemed for rewards, such as, restaurant coupons, retailer discounts, and tickets to shows and attractions.
As well, you can connect with other riders to arrange a carpool thru NuRide.
NuRide is a free serviced sponsored by governments,employers,and businesses.
Here is an article announcing NuRide coming to UVa.
