TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Commuters get online for rideshares JO - American city and county A1 - Couret, C. SP - 22 EP - 22 VL - 115 IS - 1 N2 - An Internet-based service is playing matchmaker in Redmond, Washington. Instead of pairing lonely hearts, it matches single commuters. Ridequest.com, a self-serve, online system, unites motorists commuting to local companies with others traveling to and from the same area at similar times. The free service was launched in July 1999 by the Greater Redmond Transportation Management Association (GRTMA), a consortium of 170 area employers. Currently, Ridequest.com is being used by more than 1,100 commuters to locate rideshare partners. GRTMA officials expect that as many as 5,000 commuters will be on the system in the next few years.
