About
Hi! My name is Jake, and I am the founder of Ride the Bus, Save the Planet! I was inspired to make this organization when I recognized the need to educate the community about the benefits of utilizing public transit. I have been passionate about public transportation since I visited the city of Toronto, Canada, where I was able to travel around the entire city without using a car. To learn more about our organization and our values, read the below summary of our mission and vision.
Mission
Our mission is to educate and inform the public of Columbia, South Carolina about the environmental and overall benefits of utilizing public transit.
Vision
Our vision is to create a Columbia where using a car or personal vehicle is not your only option to get around the city. We envision a future where the urban environment is designed to account for public transit users, bicyclists, and pedestrians to allow people to reduce their carbon emissions related to transportation.
