RideShark Selected for Innovative San Francisco Bay Area Shared Mobility Initiative
March 2, 2020 – Ottawa, Canada
RideShark, a world-leading provider of enterprise mobility management solutions for the government and private sector, announced today that it has been selected as a Vendor of Record for an innovative Shared Mobility initiative being launched by the San Francisco Metro Transportation Commission (MTC).
MTC SHIFT is a new program for partnering with major employers to improve peak-period traffic flows on select San Francisco Bay Area freeways. The Commission will fund up to $1.9 million in grants to help equip employers with software from platform vendors Luum, RideAmigos or RideShark to manage commute-benefit incentives, carpool and vanpool programs, parking-management strategies and other congestion-relief tools.
“We commend the MTC for developing this innovative program to reduce traffic congestion in San Francisco and we are proud to have been selected as a potential vendor for partner companies in the Bay Area,” said Sharon Lewinson, RideShark’s CEO. “The RideShark platform is the most complete and secure commuter management tool which empowers organizations around the world to transform how their people travel. We are very excited to be a part of MTC SHIFT.”
Employers who participate in MTC SHIFT can qualify for funding to cover up to 75 percent of the setup and three-year subscription costs for commute-management platforms offered by Luum, RideAmigos or RideShark and covering as many as 3,000 employees each. These platforms offer various features to administer parking-management strategies, integrate with third-party systems to manage commute benefits and incentives, and provide performance data to measure changes in workers’ drive-alone rates.
RideShark currently has deployments of its enterprise commuter management platform with numerous transportation agencies in North America and globally while also partnering directly with corporate customers around the world to improve travel options for their employees.
