White Plains Partners with Online Rideshare Service

WHITE PLAINS, NY — As part of White Plains' ongoing commitment to reduce its carbon footprint and increase energy efficiency, Mayor Tom Roach has announced a partnership with 511NY Rideshare and introduced the city's new Rideshare Portal — an online service designed to help those who live, work and play in White Plains find transportation options that work for them and reduce the impact on the environment.

Through this partnership with 511NY Rideshare, participants will be able to register for carpools and search ridematches online, learn about the Green Cities Commuter Challenge, as well as find more information about using public transportation, van pools, transit, bicycle and walking routes to and from the City of White Plains, according to a city spokesperson.

Participants will also have access to 511NY’s array of tools and information on real-time travel conditions and transit options through 511NY.org.

The service is free.

To find a ridematch and learn more about your commuting options click here and register.

You will then receive an email from ridematch@511NYRideshare.org with simple instructions for activating your City of White Plains Rideshare account. Once you activate it, you can start searching for ridematches.

If you have any questions, contact 511NY Rideshare’s Customer Service center between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, by calling 511 and saying “Rideshare,” or visit 511NY Rideshare’s Frequently Asked Questions.
