Transportation, Ride App Service Networks
Companies such as Uber or Lyft (formally known as "Transportation Network Company Rides" or TNCs), which provide prearranged ground transportation that is booked via an app or a website and connects passengers with drivers who use their own, noncommercial vehicles. Some companies may offer a variant arrangement where the passenger uses an online marketplace to retain a driver who drives the customer's own car for them; and a limited number offer accessible transportation options such as wheelchair accessible vehicles equipped with ramps or hydraulic lifts or door-to-door support for riders who may need help with wheelchairs, walkers and scooters or who have a service animal.

Transportation, Ride Share and Commuting
Programs that make arrangements for people to travel together in private automobiles and/or vans during busy commuting hours or which provide a central telephone number for people to use to identify others who are commuting to and from the same general area with whom they might share. Vehicle options include vanpools and carpools. Vanpools may be publicly or employer-operated or organized by an individual who owns or leases a van; the drivers are generally participating as commuters themselves, so are not paid. Also includes programs that provide other commuter services such as emergency commuter transportation, parking information, and more.
