Home
Fare Co-op is a multi-stakeholder, federated cooperative built to serve drivers, riders, and the communities we operate in — with drivers as the majority owners. Today, our customers benefit from on average ~20% lower fares, no surge pricing, and transparent pricing, while drivers earn significantly more per ride, have a real voice in governance, and share in the value they help create.
At the core of Fare Co-op is a community-powered referral program that pays members for referring riders and drivers. This model enables organic, word-of-mouth growth, aligns incentives across the network, and ensures profits are shared with those who actively build the platform — not extracted by outside corporations.
Unlike traditional gig platforms, Fare Co-op is owned and governed by its stakeholders. Local chapters form a federation, keeping decision-making close to the communities served while scaling nationally through cooperation.
Our vision goes further. As automation and driverless vehicles transform transportation, Fare Co-op ensures drivers are not replaced — but elevated. Through cooperative ownership, our member drivers will own the driverless vehicles of the future, creating long-term income and security instead of being displaced by technology.
Fare Co-op is building a future where innovation works for people, not against them — fair rides today, shared ownership tomorrow, and resilient local communities for generations to come.

Testimonials
Our mission is to secure the future of millions of drivers and gig workers in the new economy, by allowing them to own their platform, securing their future through co-op ownership, with better pay and better working conditions.
Through the co-op model, we will be able to finance driverless vehicles and robots for our members to own, securing their future in the age of automation.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, we will employ these self-driving vehicles to ensure the drivers of today are not left behind when automation becomes the new reality. By employing this new technology, the livelihood of millions of people will not be in question but rather, they will be able to prepare for the age of automation by purchasing or financing driverless vehicles that they will own.
Please note that our goal is NOT to replace drivers with autonomous vehicles, but rather give drivers an option for those that wish to have an exit plan if and when autonomous vehicles take over the the rideshare market in the very near future.
Fare Co-op will always be committed to supporting the drivers who want to continue driving for as long as they can, while there is still a market for people who want human drivers.
