CASS
Rides with Dignity
CASS is a rideshare program organized by Project PAW Carbon & Energy Solutions Corp designed under a “Cost Recovery” Pricing model, not price extraction.
CASS was built for the vulnerable people that traditional transportation has left behind and forgotten - “We are not a taxi- we are a lifeline” we don’t deliver on demand or ride hail services to the public.
We offer Reasonable transportation options for CASS Members ONLY
How is the monthly fee determined?:
In the span of a month, we can figure out how much distance each member requires to get through the month - we charge a “subscription fee” that is determined using “The Laura Fourmula”
An example:
- Laura takes 1x10km per week to make her essential appointments, plus a few extra small ones trips to get groceries.
- We determine Laura needs a package worth 100km per month (80 Critical + 20 non critical)
Laura’s Rate is $0.50/km for scheduled rides
Laura Pays $50/month for 100km of service
How does CASS Booking work?
Because we are not a ride hail or on-demand service to the public, all rides are scheduled with CASS in advance, this means when the driver shows up each morning for work, they know which members they will be serving and when throughout the day. - this is a key reason why we can offer the service at a low consistent price, because we don’t have to account for drivers sitting idle waiting for a call.
Each ride is booked with a CASS Organizer then billed to your account the day of. The total deducted from the balance each trip gets transferred to the Drivers Account so they can get you where you need to go.
What if I need an on demand ride that I wasn’t planning for?
On demand rides for members are available when we have a rider available to take them and they cost 2x more- time is precious we don’t have drivers or organizers on the clock waiting for you to call - we have organizers, organizing the transportation for you and others, if we can squeeze you in, we will - but the cost of that ride wont be marked at the same rate as your monthly limit and will be considered extra and must be paid in full before we send the driver, no exceptions
The above is also true for on demand deliveries
Laura Pays $0.75/km for on demand rides above what she pays for her monthly 100km
