RIDEON COMMUTER SERVICES
​The RideOn Commuter Services program supports transportation choices to students commuting to higher education and employees commuting to work. The goal is to provide transportation options, and reduce single occupancy vehicles, traffic congestion, and car parking needs.
​
The Apalachee Regional Planning Council (ARPC) has a contract with FDOT for our regional Commuter Assistance Program, called RideOn.
​
​
RideOn covers all of FDOT’s District 3 (Northwest Florida from Escambia county at the Alabama border to Jefferson county) and is managed jointly by the Apalachee Regional Planning Council (ARPC) and the Emerald Coast Regional Council (ECRC).
​
The Ride Roll Stroll Challenge leads up to Mobility Week and is a statewide contest for people to use their local app (RideOn in our region) and log as many rides in as many different categories as possible. Participants can win prizes and compete for a top spot on the leaderboards.
