RideshareKC makes it easy for employees to find sustainable, healthy and affordable ways to work.
We provide consultations to businesses around the Kansas City region to help employees cut commuting costs, address transportation challenges that can be a barrier to getting to work on time and create cultures that encourage biking, walking, riding transit or carpooling to work.
Our team of experts has helped more than 100 companies establish programs to help their employees find easy alternatives to driving alone and keep our region’s air clean.
Commute Audit
RideshareKC will provide an in-depth custom assessment to identify the best commute options for your employees. We’ll survey your workers to learn where they live, how they get to work and identify any challenges getting to and from work. We’ll connect you with one or more of our free programs that can help address the issues we’ve uncovered together during the assessment.
Carpool Matching
Carpooling helps workers cut commuting costs and keep our region’s air clean. With our ridematching tool at RideshareKC.org, employees can form carpools with co-workers or other commuters nearby.
Outreach and Education
Invite RideshareKC to table at your next benefits fair, wellness event or staff meeting. We’re also available for on-site or virtual presentations and can provide educational materials, such as maps, brochures and toolkits.
Guaranteed Ride Home
This program ensures employees can get a ride home in the event of illness or emergency. They can simply call a cab, Uber or Lyft, and RideshareKC will reimburse up to two trips annually. More information about Guaranteed Ride Home can be found here.

Telework Programs
