Ridejoy for Events

 
 

The FREE, easy way to help attendees carpool to your event

What's Ridejoy?

Ridejoy is a friendly community marketplace for people sharing rides and helps thousands share rides between 300 cities on the West Coast.


Founded in mid-2011, we recently announced $1.3M in seed funding and have been covered by Wall Street Journal, AllThingsD, TechCrunch, and 7x7 (the SF magazine).

How does Ridejoy for Events work?

We help festivals, conventions and other events offer a convenient and friendly way to get to the venue - for free. Attendees can search for rides, message other users, and carpool together to the event.


While our services are at no cost to the event, we are selective about who we work with. We have previously helped hundreds of people rideshare to Burning Man 2011 and also partnered with Homewood Ski Resorts, among others, to facilitate rideshare to the slopes. You can see our work at:


Why Does Rideshare Matter?


  1. Environmental Impact
    Ridesharing can greatly reduce your event's CO2 footprint: a single 100 mile trip shared with 3 people saves nearly 200 lbs of CO2 (over 3 separate cars)

  2. Grow Your Reach
    Rideshare gives far-flung and cost-conscious attendees an easy and inexpensive way to get to your event - which can help expand your event's reach.

  3. Reduced Congestion
    Does your event trigger traffic jams, parking overflow and other car-related difficulties? Ridesharing takes cars off the road and out of the lots, reducing these logistical headaches.
