We started Empower to empower drivers who can’t make a sustainable living under the current rideshare model and to provide an alternative for passengers who want the convenience provided by on-demand transportation platforms, but prefer to support drivers, not the companies exploiting them. By removing the giant corporate middleman, Empower is able to do that, while enabling passengers to obtain less expensive and more customized transportation directly from drivers.

RideForce Worker

Features

Rides to work, built for Mississippi. MsRideForce connects workers across Mississippi with trusted local drivers for the trip to work and back home. You name the price you pay per ride, and a local driver takes it or leaves it. No car, a car in the shop, or a shift that starts before the bus runs: book a whole week of rides at once and know exactly who is picking you up. We are launching city by city across Mississippi, starting in the Jackson metro, Canton and Richland. Join the waitlist in the app and we will tell you the moment rides open near you. YOU NAME YOUR PRICE • You say what a ride to work is worth to you — nobody sets a fare for you • Drivers see your price and choose whether to take it • Nothing is charged until a driver accepts THREE WAYS TO SET UP A RIDE • Regular schedule: the same days and shift times every week • Irregular schedule: pick the exact days you need, week by week • One-off: a ride to a job interview or a first-day orientation GET TO WORK ON TIME • Book your commute once for the week, to work and home • See your driver on the map, live, from the moment they set off • Call or text your driver from the app KNOW WHO IS PICKING YOU UP • Every driver is verified before they can drive • See their photo, car, plate and the hours they drive • Choose a driver near you, or let a driver take your request SET IT UP IN MINUTES • Add your workplace once in the Jobs hub • We work out pickup times from the real drive • Set your days, your shift times and your price PAY AS FAR AHEAD AS YOU WANT • Day by day: your first day is charged when a driver accepts, then each day 24 hours before its first ride • Three days at a time • The whole schedule at once • A renewing week is charged 24 hours before its first ride PAY THE WAY THAT WORKS FOR YOU • Card or RideForce wallet • Charged when a driver accepts, not when you post a request • If your employer has a RideForce plan and confirms you, they can cover your rides FIND JOBS YOU CAN GET TO, IN THE JOBS HUB • Browse local employers and jobs across Mississippi: plants, hospitals, warehouses and stores • See how many RideForce drivers already drive to each workplace • See which jobs already have RideForce drivers going there, so you know you can get to work • Save jobs, track your applications, and book a ride to an interview or orientation FAIR FOR EVERYONE • Cancel with a reason and your driver is told why • Car trouble or an emergency? Dispute a strike with proof MsRideForce is a pre-launch service. Rides are available only in areas we have opened; everyone else can join the waitlist. An account and identity verification are required to book rides. Questions? rideforce.app/support.html
