turns driving and riding — it's up to you and the other NuRider.
|

ride when carpooling? |

|
Can I use NuRide for non-work
trips? |
| |
|
Absolutely and we strongly encourage it. You can use
NuRide to earn points for all of your greener trips whether you are going to work, the mall, out with friends or even to a ball game.
|
| 12. |
|
Can I get points for riding a motorcycle, taking a scooter or putting my kid on the bus? |
| |
|
You can earn points for any motorized trip that has 2 or more participants (a driver and at least one passenger) who are at least 18 years of age. NuRide rewards people for reducing traffic and emissions so if you travel by motorized vehicle there must be two adults on the trip to qualify for points.
