EZ Ride congratulates RideWise on receiving a Bronze EV Adoption Leadership recognition award for its efforts to encourage sustainable travel. Like EZ Ride, RideWise is one of New Jersey’s eight Transportation Management Associations (TMAs).

RideWise’s mission is to connect people and businesses to safe and sustainable travel information that enhances quality of life and creates a vibrant economy. Its strategic priorities serve Somerset County by:

• Educating the community on safe and efficient ways to travel.
• Supporting transportation options and enhancements that improve mobility and help the environment.
• Collaborating with the business community to support employee mobility and connect people to jobs.
• Engaging with local governments and communities to increase opportunities for biking and walking.

As an employer that values sustainability, RideWise encourages employees to commute via public transit or active transportation, such as walking and biking. Employees who bike to work can park their bicycles safely indoors and use a 120-volt outlet on site to charge e-mobility devices.

RideWise also promotes sustainable travel when multiple employees attend an event by encouraging them to use electric vehicles or carpooling. Although they lease space in a building without EV charging, they have partnered with Somerset County so staff can use free public EV chargers for their vehicles. RideWise has compiled a list of all public county charger locations on its website, available to both staff and county residents.

“RideWise provides information about electric vehicle charging stations in Somerset County and resources to support environmentally friendly transportation. We are thrilled to receive recognition as a national EV Adoption Leader (EVAL) and look forward to collaborating with EZ Ride and other regional partners on activities that support sustainable transportation.”

— Donna Allison, Executive Director
