Our Services

Recruit

Ride to Work partners with local workforce development organizations to develop proprietary candidate pools for employers.

We work with employers who currently recruit or plan to recruit from Philadelphia or other urban centers. Instead of competing for talent in the general market, RTW develops a separate and distinct recruitment channel to fulfill employers’ hiring needs.
We leverage our strong partnerships with the local workforce development community to develop a Sustainable, On Demand, Scalable (SOS) Candidate Pipeline based on employer need. Over 90 days, RTW works with employers to select the desired number of hires, the seasonality of hiring demand, and the processes and procedures of interviewing and onboarding candidates. Our pipeline focuses on adversely impacted and marginalized (AIM) workers from under-tapped and diverse workforce markets
Each candidate recruited through the SOS Pipeline is offered transportation to and from the employer worksite once they start work to avoid any transportation-related attrition. We have an 85% retention rate which involves checking in with employees and case managers over 90 days and beyond if contracted.
Ride to Work partners with experts to advise on how employers can receive tax credits for employing workforce development candidates. This significantly improves the overall return on investment for the employer in developing and using the SOS Pipeline.

Ride To Work connects workforce development agencies, employers, and employees to third-party transportation providers

The Commute with Enterprise “van share” model allows employees themselves to be responsible for their vehicles. Employees make arrangements for pick-ups and drop-offs of their co-workers who share the same work shift and site. These “worker” drivers, along with one of their co-workers who serves as their backup driver, are responsible for getting everyone to work on time and home safely. Drivers, in return for their services, are able to use the vehicles for personal use up to a predetermined amount of mileage each month.
RTW contracts with local third-party transportation services to provide versatility for our customers. Our primary partner is GPS Transportation. GPS provides a variety of transports including handicap vehicles, trained professional drivers, and logistical support. Our partners give us the versatility in types of transportation services we can provide our customers, as well as the geographical reach that may be needed.
For smaller employee pools, commercial ride-sharing services like UBER or Lyft are viable alternatives to either van pools or route pickups. The challenge for most employees in the target population is their lack of access to smartphone technology. This prohibits or greatly inhibits their ability to order and set up UBER accounts. RTW dispatchers can order UBER rides for groups of employees who are all destined for the same work location. RTW dispatchers handle the scheduling, logistics, and follow-up for all rides.

Ride to Work transports, designs, manages, and measures workforce development talent pools

We understand the factors that play into transport pricing including, distance, number of riders, time of day and week, and size of vehicles. We offer a data driven approach to our services to ensure clear measurement of ROI. We also offer our partners insights into how they can improve retention of employees through our Workplace and DEI consulting.
Ride to Work is experienced in getting your staff to work, affordably. We’ve spent years designing and implementing programs that work for you because we understand the complexities of creating affordable and sustainable transportation. We have developed robust transportation partnerships to get staff, working any shift, from A to B.

RTW helps organizations pay for transportation by identifying public and private funding sources, securing payment subsidies from prospective employers, and negotiating fares for staff. We also partner in grant proposals where transportation expertise is critical to success. We assist like-minded organizations to develop business opportunities.
