RideAlong – Transportation for Hill-Murray Students
How do you make sure your kids get where they need to go when you can’t be there? We are a rideshare service, but we’re more than “Uber for kids.” At RideAlong, We’re Part of Your Village.
Every RideAlong family has the same driver every day, whom they know and trust. We build new communities and friendships through rides for families. We partner with schools, organizations, communities, and families for all of your transportation needs.
Safe transportation options for all families
Nothing is more important than your child’s safety. It’s the whole reason we started RideAlong – to safely get kids where they need to go when you can’t. You always know where your child is, and they are never left alone.
Community
We are a growing community of families who depend on each other. Our drivers are truly a part of the RideAlong family. They’re dedicated employees and community members who love helping others.
