Join the Car Free Day Committee

The 511NY Rideshare team is celebrating Car Free Day on Wednesday, September 22, 2021. Leading up to the event, we're inviting individuals from organizations, municipalities, and worksites to join our planning committee. Help us plan for events across the state, and at your organization or worksite! 

If you're interested in joining the committee or hosting an event at your worksite or encouraging your employees to participate, contact a 511NY Rideshare team at info@511NYRideshare.org.

The Kiosk

Our interactive mobility kiosk is coming soon to a worksite near you! The kiosk helps our community make smarter and more eco-friendly trips without in-person interaction.

Each kiosk comes equipped with an antimicrobial screen and a built-in hand sanitizing station.

Interested in bringing an interactive kiosk to your workplace?

Community Mobilization Project

Smart travel decisions benefit you, the environment, and our community. The mission of the Community Mobilization Project is to build and empower a community of New Yorkers who care about managing their impact, reducing traffic congestion, helping the environment, and improving the quality of life in their region.

The Community Mobilization Project will provide opportunities for local residents and businesses to come together and drive positive change in their communities. One way we will be rewarding and recognizing our change champions is through our Community Mobilization Badges which can be earned by completing simple tasks such as running a ride match, teleworking, or tracking a trip. (see details below)

Earn Community Mobilization Badges

Members can track their contribution by earning badges for taking small actions like tracking a trip, teleworking or subscribing to Clean Air NY.
