About Local Route
We're on a mission to transform urban transportation with safe, sustainable, and reliable rides.
Our Story
Local Route was born from a simple idea: transportation should be safe, sustainable, and accessible to everyone. Founded in 2020, we set out to create a rideshare service that puts people and the planet first.
We started with just 50 electric vehicles in New York City. Today, we operate thousands of vehicles across multiple cities, all while maintaining our commitment to 100% electric transportation.
Our drivers are more than contractors—they're partners in our mission. We invest in their success through fair compensation, comprehensive training, and ongoing support.
Our Mission
To provide the safest, most sustainable, and most reliable transportation option for urban communities, while creating meaningful opportunities for our driver partners.
Our Values
Safety First
Every decision we make prioritizes the safety of our riders and drivers. From background checks to real-time monitoring, safety is non-negotiable.
Sustainability
We're committed to a greener future with our 100% electric fleet. Every ride helps reduce carbon emissions and protect our planet.
Community
We believe in building strong communities. Our drivers are partners, our riders are family, and together we're transforming urban transportation.
Innovation
We continuously improve our technology and services to provide the best possible experience for everyone who uses Local Route.
