SANTA MONICA, CA, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the transportation sector continues to be the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, the RidePair Climate Initiative today reaffirmed its commitment to helping California achieve measurable emissions reductions by reducing single-occupancy vehicle travel — an objective central to the state’s climate policy.
The RidePair Climate Initiative is a California public benefit nonprofit dedicated to advancing equitable, shared mobility solutions that help reduce vehicle miles traveled. The organization is positioning itself to receive Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) grant funds this year through regulatory settlements administered by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), with a focus on serving underprivileged and disadvantaged communities.
“California’s climate strategy clearly identifies reducing single-occupancy vehicle travel as an essential pathway to meeting our emissions and air-quality goals,” said a spokesperson from CARB. “These strategies help support more equitable access to affordable, pollution-reducing transportation options across the state.”
Addressing Transportation Emissions and Equity
CARB’s climate scoping plans repeatedly emphasize the need to shift commuting behavior away from single-occupancy vehicles as a critical strategy for achieving statewide emissions targets, including the 2030 objective of reducing greenhouse gases by 40% below 1990 levels.
“Transportation emissions cannot be solved by technology alone,” said Deborah Kenney, Founder and Chair of the RidePair Climate Initiative. “We need behavioral solutions that meet people where they are — especially in communities most impacted by pollution, congestion, and limited mobility options.”
While RidePair has not yet received SEP funds, the organization expects awards in 2026 that will empower its mission — bringing pay-per-mile climate incentives to everyday commuters. The SEP program prioritizes projects that deliver measurable environmental benefit while directly serving underserved communities, an alignment RidePair considers foundational to its climate and equity goals.
Users Get Paid to Pair — Equity Meets Climate Impact
RidePair’s shared mobility incentive model delivers benefits on multiple levels:
• Climate impact: Reduces single-occupancy vehicle trips and associated emissions
• Economic benefit: Users earn incentives — getting paid to pair — for sharing rides
• Equity focus: Incentive participation prioritizes access for communities with fewer mobility options, high pollution exposure, and long commute burdens
“We are designing a climate solution that pays people to take action,” Kenney continued. “Often, low-income and disadvantaged communities face both the highest air pollution burdens and the least economic flexibility to choose cleaner travel options. RidePair reverses that dynamic by aligning incentives with shared mobility behavior.”
About the RidePair Climate Initiative
The RidePair Climate Initiative is a California public-benefit nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing transportation emissions through incentivized shared mobility. With anticipated SEP grant funding from CARB settlement programs, the Initiative channels public and philanthropic support into measurable reductions in single-occupancy vehicle travel — advancing both climate targets and equity outcomes for California communities.

About RidePair Inc.
RidePair is a software company that has developed an app for coordinating, enabling, and verifying ride sharing. This is not ride sharing, such as Uber, where the driver is essentially offering a taxi service, but true ride sharing in which everyone in the car is sharing the ride to go to a similar place – e.g., co-commuting to work with colleagues. Unlike taxi-like services, which increase the number of cars on the road, true ride sharing has been shown to be one of the most effective means of reducing cars on the roads and thus reducing traffic, emissions, and even reducing roadway maintenance. The issue has been verifying that ride sharing or co-commuting is actually occurring, which issue we believe will be solved by the Ridepair app.
