To date NuRide, based in Connecticut, has about 3,000 Hampton Roads participants and 17 local sponsors like Farm Fresh and Taste Unlimited. The cab companies that are participating are full service transportation companies with over 165 year's experience collectively. They offer safe, reliable service to consumers, corporations, government and military agencies as well as tourists. Additionally they provide medical transportation,
school routing, private event shuttle (i.e. company parties),
and, of course, everyday taxi service. All of the companies offer state
of the art technology to
meet all customer needs. This includes computer dispatch and credit card
