RamRide’s 21st Birthday
10/14/24
Our favorite safe ride program is turning 21 this year! In the fall of 2003, RamRide was founded by ASCSU and on October 24th of that year, it had its first night of operations. By 2009, RamRide had served 100,000 patrons! ASCSU successfully ran the program until 2013 when they transferred it over to us at Off-Campus Life so that a crew of full-time staff could take care of it. Since then, OCL has worked to keep it running smoothly and even made its own RamRide app in 2015. When COVID hit, we partnered with Lyft to make sure that our patrons could still get safe rides and then we built our program back up post-pandemic to get it back to how it was in its glory days.
Through its trials and tribulations, RamRide is still running today and continuing to serve patrons almost every weekend. Even if we don’t run through volunteers, we offer Lyft code vouchers to make sure our students are still getting free and safe rides. Our office is extremely proud of this program, and we want to celebrate! For its 21st birthday, we will be hosting an event on October 24th on the LSC Plaza! There will be cake, stickers, a photobooth, and more swag. Other organizations such as Transfort, ASCSU, and The Spoke will also be joining us on the plaza to celebrate.
Make sure to join us on the Plaza for the celebration! If you can’t make it on the 24th, you can learn more about RamRide on our website: https://ramride.colostate.edu/. Or, email us at ramride@colostate.edu or call at (970) 492-3333.
