RideCheck, LLC is ready for expanded fall rideshare operations across the USA and Canada at its Web site, www.RideCheck.com. You can cut your road trip costs in half with one rider, or even more if you take additional riders!

   RideCheck offers a secure online database of road trips spanning across North America. Vehicle owners and riders benefit from the service by sharing a convenient ride and travel expenses, while reducing pollution and traffic congestion.

   RideCheck.com serves each and every North American town and city, and it provides an inexpensive and more personal alternative to mass transportation. RideCheck allows adults to search rides based on various criteria, including departure date, gender, smoking habits and college or university (if a student).

   "A person can also instruct the site to report back on newly posted rides of interest," says Clyde Mitchell, the principal founder of RideCheck. The Web site also has various security measures.

   The site is currently free.

   "RideCheck will be very helpful for making cost-efficient fall travel plans. The more people that use the site, the more effective it will be for everyone," Mitchell says.

   Ridesharing will then become more effective and commonplace. The Web site can handle more than 50,000 queries daily.

   A rideboard user during his student days at MIT in the 1970s, Mitchell realized the rideboard ride was often the best alternative, even within the heavily traveled Northeast Corridor, despite hourly air shuttles and regular bus and train service.

   The RideCheck team hopes the Web site will assist people in traveling about the continent, saving money and time, meeting new people and conserving fossil fuel.

   Ride On!
