Share the Ride to Obama Presidential Inauguration with TripVerde’s National Ridesharing Service
WASHINGTON-(Business Wire)-December 22, 2008 - Four million people are expected to make the trip to Washington DC for the January 20, 2009 inauguration of Barack Obama, an historic event also estimated to generate millions of pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. TripVerde’s national ridesharing service provides an economical and environmental solution – a smart way to save money, gas and the environment, one carbon footprint at a time.
TripVerde RideJockeys personally pair people headed to the inauguration with like-minded people from their region to share the ride.

Consider a four-person rideshare 2,700 miles from DC. The driver receives compensation to cover the roundtrip drive. Each rider pays under $200, less than the cost of the bus. Drivers and riders can opt to donate up to 1.5 cents/mile to Teach For America, a non-profit educational agency working to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting the nation’s most promising leaders in the effort.
“The eyes of the world will be on DC in January. TripVerde’s ridesharing program is in line with the Obama administration’s top priorities of climate change and the economy. Personal transportation is a key contributor to global warming. Ridesharing saves money, gas and emissions, period,” said Scott Willis, CEO, TripVerde.
