Onward is NOT an on-demand rideshare service.

How is this different than other rideshare services?

• Onward is different in two distinct ways. First, our rides are scheduled and you get paid by the hour, not the trip. This allows you to plan around your schedule and drive when works best for you.
• Second, our passengers are seniors or those who need a little extra help. This may include things like getting in and out of the car, or waiting for them while they run an errand.
