2. Ride Sharing
As part of its ongoing effort to address constituency concerns, Stony Brook University wishes to advise the University community about a voluntary on-line ride sharing program. This program is supported by Long Island Transportation Management Inc., and is designed to save money, ease daily commuting and reduce traffic congestion.
NuRide is a ride network where participants can plan trips on-line and get rewarded for riding together. According to the program literature (www.nuride.com), membership is free, there are no usage commitments and participants earn reward points from sponsors for every trip taken, whether the service is used 1 day a month or 5 days a week.
Other options are detailed on Long Island Transportation Management's website, and may be better suited to your individual needs.
Participation in any program of this nature is entirely voluntary. The University makes no representations or warranties about your fellow riders or participant satisfaction
