How Raider Rides Works
Schedule Your Ride
Scheduling a ride is as easy as filling out our ride request form! Located right above on our home page, once you fill out the form a member from our team will text to confirm your reservation and we start looking for your driver right away!
Get Connected With Your Driver
Once we have paired your ride with a driver, someone from our team will text you to confirm once again and then create a group chat with you, your driver, and any other Colgate University students who will be joining the same ride.
Time For Your Raider Ride
Right before it is time for your Raider Ride your driver will text in the already created chat to confirm pickup and drop off location. Constant communication between riders and driver ensures a smooth and easy trip to wherever you need to go!

As CEO, I oversee all operations relating to Raider Rides, from managing ride sign-ups to preparing for potential expansion to other Universities and Colleges. I founded Raider Rides in August, 2021 with my two best friends Eli and Thomas and we have not looked back, consistently communicating with customers and drivers in an organized, respectful, and personable way - an integral part of our business. I am a double major in Political Science and Spanish, but apart from Raider Rides, I have captained the Club Baseball Team on campus for the past three years, winning two championships, and am part of Phi Delta Theta as well!
