What Get2Thr! Does
...we put youth in motion
Get2Thr! coordinates pre-scheduled rides for youth from school or home to & from their approved extra-curricular activities in partnership with the various ride-sharing services available in the community.
For those families that an afford to pay, rides are provided at discounted rates from conventional 'rack' rates, and for those who cannot afford to pay, rides fees are covered by Get2Thr! through the generous support of our community sponsors and benefactors.

How it Works
1. Families interested in obtaining rides for their youth will first complete an application. The application will include information as to the extra-curricular activities so Get2Thr! can assure the youth's safety. It will also require the routine pick-up times and locations, drop-off times and locations, and forms of payment for families able to pay. For families wishing to seek financial support from Get2Thr! additional information may be required.
2. Once accepted as non-voting members of the society, Get2Thr! administrative staff will coordinate with the various pre-approved ride-sharing services in the community to confirm each pre-scheduled ride. Information on each ride will be entered into the Get2Thr! technical system which synchronizes with the Get2Thr! mobile app.
3. Once accepted as members, families will be given access to the Get2Thr! mobile app. The app will help both parents / guardians and their youth to be reminded of and have access to scheduled ride information such as which service will be providing that day's ride, who the driver will be, what type of vehicle, and ride status as the ride is occurring.
All drivers will be licensed and certified along with government issues youth-oriented background checks to ensure safety and security. The app will allow parents to immediately know where they youth is at all times, and to immediately contact the driver or their child at the touch of a button.
4. At the conclusion of the ride the paying families will see a charge for the discounted ride posted on their credit or debit card. For sponsored families, no such charge will appear.
