Reflecting On Our Commitment to Sustainability

It’s our favorite day of the year: Earth Day. We’re excited to celebrate GoGreenRide's commitment to the environment.



GoGreenRide is committed to being environmentally responsible. Our current fleet is composed entirely of the Toyota Prius V hybrid model, which means we only produce a fraction of the carbon emissions of most car service fleets. With an estimated 42 miles per gallon, our fleet boasts an EPA smog score of eight out of ten. In addition to our hybrid cars, we go the extra mile to be completely carbon neutral with our partner, Carbon Neutral by purchasing carbon credits to offset our environmental impact. 

Via this partnership, our carbon credits help to fund the Mississippi Valley Restored EcoSystem Project. Our funds will help reforest one million acres of the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley was once covered by 22 million acres of dense forests, but now supports less than 20% of the original as a result of deforestation and a change to agricultural land use. However, planting trees will reduce an estimated amount of 200 tCO2 in the area, while also improving the water quality and biodiversity. Our efforts in this project will  also create revenue for low-income landowners. The water quality will also benefit because reforestation minimizes soil erosion and absorbs farm chemicals from surface runoff and groundwater. 

We’ve come a long way and we’re more confident than ever about the role we're playing to address sustainability and other important environmental challenges.We invite you to join us on our journey by:

Our Resolutions!



GoGreenRide, the personal touch that is absent in transportation, enters 2014 strongly and is ready to tackle another year! This year we have five resolutions to make sure that GoGreenRide is always your number one choice. Each one resonates our core values and pillars of superior service.

1.   Reliability - Riding with GoGreenRide means knowing you'll get where you're going, on time without worry. This year we want to continue providing our members with the best means of transportation by increasing our fleet size to rapidly serve you.
2.   We also want to continue ensuring that our members are satisfied with our customer service. We highly depend on your feedback, through our periodic surveys and via cs@gogreenride.com, to ensure that each ride starts and ends with a smile! We also want to ensure that our members receive the same quality each time they ride with us, whether they book a ride from their house on the weekend, or an early morning ride from their office to a client meeting. By training our drivers on various topics, we strive to provide the highest level of customer service.
3.   At GoGreenRide, we value affordability. Therefore, this year will continue to offer top of the line amenities and the luxury aspect from the black car service, but at pricing on par with a yellow cab.
4.   GoGreenRide is committed to environmental responsibility and we know our customers value that highly. Our GoGreenRide cars only produce a fraction of the carbon emissions of most car service vehicles. This year we look forward to continuing our commitment to the environment by remaining carbon neutral with our partner, Carbon Neutral. We are also looking to develop key relationships with more companies that align with our values.

5.   Last but not least, we would like to continue sharing the GoGreenRide experience with our members and many more. We want everyone to be able to GoGreenRide and we look forward to making new memories with our founding members and future members.
We look forward to riding with you this 2014!
