WHY WE EXIST
To Make Urban Mobility Personal and Sustainable
RideCo was founded in 2013 by Co-Founders Prem Gururajan, Matthew Monteyne, and Darren Maki with a vision to solve transit challenges. With innovative software, RideCo helps transit agencies and municipalities drive sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of their public transit systems. Today, our patented technology has powered more than 80 services in cities worldwide, including some of the largest transit systems in the United States and Canada: Philadelphia, Houston, Las Vegas, and San Antonio.
"We built RideCo because our own family members were struggling to use transit to get to work and school, and we realized that this is an unnecessary challenge millions of people around the world struggle with daily. Our talented and dedicated RideCo team is solving an incredibly difficult mobility and engineering problem, and our implementations with some of North America’s largest transit agencies indicate we’re succeeding - improving the rider experience, enabling transit agencies to be more efficient and reducing environmental impact."
