TreadShare vs RTD FlexRide

TreadShare is a carpooling app that links drivers and passengers so they can share rides and the cost of the drive. The goal here is to reduce the number of cars on the road, save money, connect like-minded travelers across the Western US, and help protect the environment. TreadShare is available anywhere and anytime people are on the road; come see what rides are available or post your own! Carpooling with TreadShare is a cost-sharing arrangement organized through the app, and not a commercial activity for drivers.
