General Information
Project description
In the spring of 2021, as COVID-19 vaccines became accessible to the US's general public, ideas42 and the Boston Transportation Department launched the FreeRide pilot program to encourage commuters to use transit (subway and bus) and bike share as they commute to work. The FreeRide program was designed to accomplish three main goals:
• Support small businesses and employees who have endured economic hardship during the pandemic.
• Shift employees away from single-occupancy vehicle use, and
• Reduce carbon emissions
