Better than Rideshare Services

When you’re without a vehicle, finding a Lyft or an Uber to take you where you need to go is one option. However, this is not the most reliable mode of transportation, unless perhaps you are in a large city. 

Recently, the city of Auburn developed an affordable, safe, and dependable ride sharing service to specifically meet the needs of our community. When you choose Auburn On-Demand you know you’re in the trusted hands of an organization that cares about the wellbeing of our citizens here in the foothills. 

Whether your car is in the shop for a few hours for an oil change or a few weeks for a major repair, you can rely on Auburn On-Demand to pick you up from the mechanic shop, take you to run errands, drive you home, and take you back to get your vehicle when it’s done being serviced. With Auburn On-Demand you can now enjoy less stress and more convenience, and no longer have to worry about inconveniencing friends and family by asking for rides around town.

Affordability for All

It is important to the City of Auburn that our ride-share service be affordable and accessible to everyone in the community no matter income level or circumstances. Each ride with Auburn On-Demand is only $3.50, which can be paid through the TransLoc app or with cash when you board the electric bus. 

Since gas prices have gone up to record highs in recent weeks, our ride share service might just be cheaper than driving. With the expenses that come along with your car being in the shop, the affordability of our service gives you peace of mind and assures that you won’t have to spend an additional fortune paying for a rental car while you wait to get your vehicle back.

Sustainable Transportation in Auburn, CA

As a town known for its natural scenic beauty and resources, the City of Auburn takes pride in treating our home planet with respect. Our community is one that cares about how we interact with our environment. Many in the Auburn area look for ways to support programs and processes that help reduce any negative impacts on the Earth. 

Shared Transportation

In recent years, those who work to make the City of Auburn great decided to offer its residents a reliable and safe way to share transportation, called Auburn On-Demand. Public and shared transportation is an effective way to reduce air pollution and the demand for fuel energy. 

Public transportation in suburbs and rural towns may not always be able to provide convenient pick-up and drop-off locations, depending on where you need to go. Additionally, ride-share services such as Uber and Lyft can be unreliable in small towns. However, with the Auburn On-Demand ride-share service you can select specific pick-up and destination points while still sharing a ride (and its cost) with others. This is a great way to reduce our town’s carbon footprint. 

Ride in Electric Style

But wait, it gets even better! When planning for the Auburn On-Demand ride-share system, the City of Auburn kept sustainability in mind and chose to fund a bus fleet that runs completely on electric energy instead of fossil fuels.  When the demand for gasoline and petroleum products is minimized, air pollution, disruption of wildlife habitats, and chances for oil spills is also reduced. 

As our electric energy production is increasingly sourced by wind, hydro, and solar methods the power used by electric vehicles will become more and more sustainable. The Auburn On-Demand bus can therefore be seen as an investment in the future of our planet. 

Electric Vehicles (EVs), such as the Auburn On-Demand bus, provide an opportunity to greatly reduce the amount of gasoline used in our transportation system. Electrification of the transport sector can bring many benefits including reduced local pollution and increased energy efficiency. Even in the immediate, riding in the electric Auburn On-Demand bus has obvious benefits to its patrons. No more inhaling the smelly (and dangerous) exhaust fumes!
