Yatrips provides a friendly way for people to offer or participate in rides. Based on our Energy Technology (ET), we are committed to help people share rides and make new friends, while helping Mother Earth. We pair people together, based on their common interests in Facebook. Our sophisticated scheduling, matching, and communication technology makes sharing rides easy, convenient, flexible and reliable; and creates an easy transition from social networked-based relationships into in-person friendships. At the same time, we keep track of every pound of CO2 saved by each person and group who use Yatrips’ for Earth-friendly transportation. This is the easiest, most immediate way to get where you want to go and reduce your CO2 emissions on the way.
65 MPG Immediately
You effectively get 65 mpg (based on EPA averages of 21.5 mpg per driver) if you share a ride with two other people, while it will have taken the Federal government 35 years (from 1985-2020) to legislate a standards increase , from 27.5 to 35 mpg. That’s 35 years for a 7.5 mpg increase. Based on this time line, it will take the federal government 140 years to catch up to what you and two friends can do tomorrow (65mpg.) We believe change can come in small meaningful steps without radical alterations in our daily lives. Based on the innate goodness of the American people to help Mother Earth and powered by Yatrips’ Energy Technology, we believe can make a significant contribution. Our One Million Miles Less (link to million mile blog,) campaign utilizes ride sharing through the Yatrips community to reduce the output of over 440 metric tons of CO2. In weight, that equals 68 Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaurs (link to dinosaur blog)Ride sharing has been around for a long time but had never really worked because it has been almost exclusively based on physical proximity. Until now, ride sharing has been inconvenient and inflexible and quite boring. By combining good old American ingenuity and great technology, Yatrips is changing all that.Lean and CleanYatrips ET does not require several hundred million dollars to develop new technologies; nor does it take 10 years to implement government programs. When you share a ride with someone today, your CO2 emissions have been reduced by 50% as soon as you get out of the car. It’s a lean and clean approach to a problem that worsens, literally, by the minute.Ways to use YatripsUse Yatrips to share and easily arrange rides for
