Save money and make a difference

The Roam app is great because it’s focused on reducing the cost of getting a ride for everyone. At the same time, it’s building a completely different kind of very affordable, community-driven ridesharing.

The Roam app will do this by connecting people in the same communities, who are going the same direction, instead of paying for a hired car and driver — at 1/10th of the cost.

Joining the Roam community now will help to build a true ridesharing platform that reduces the carbon footprint of every shared ride by at least 2X or more compared to driving alone. This will help to save our climate at the same time that it transforms the cost of getting a ride.

Right now, new members can get paid to drive and map their trips in the first active service area. Those driving outside that area will get funds put into their “reserve” balance when they drive in a “future” service area.

Eventually, the Roam app will reduce the cost of a ride to 25¢ per mile for everyone, compared to high cost of $2-3 per mile on other ridesharing apps.

For Roam members who choose to drive, they will never go out of their way. They’ll only go to the places they are already going, but they will have the option to take a rider with them and be paid for each occupied seat in their car, including their own.
