Opportunities.

Dollaride is a mobility company for communities underserved by public transit. We use data intelligence to help businesses solve public transit gaps and we specialize in building technology that supports micro-transit routes in the highest need areas in NYC. Inspired by the ‘dollar vans’ in NYC, an informal network of shuttles, Dollaride is dedicated to improving shared transportation opportunities.
