Lawrence OnBoard is a nonprofit organization that seeks to transform hitchhiking into a safe, mainstream and reliable form of public transportation.
Lawrence OnBoard is based on a club membership system. The club is organized and owned by its members, who can sign up as riders or drivers or both. All participants will be registered and issued a photo ID. Riders receive a white board with the club logo. Riders can go to any safe road side, write their destination on the white board, and catch a ride with any willing driver.
Lawrence OnBoard is in the research and development phase. Test riders are currently in the field testing the system, collecting data and distributing surveys. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to support the project, please visit their website:
