The state of Virginia is home to two of the most brutal prisons in the country -Red Onion & Wallens Ridge State Prisons. Located in the middle of coal mine country. Both created through the destruction of the environment and of course, the surrounding communities. Having spent over 14 years in captivity -- six of which were spent between these two institutions -- I can say that the daily living conditions inside these human warehouses are hell, to say the least. Men are tortured in these places every single day -- enduring 5 point restraints, having their bones broken, being bitten by dogs, being held in solitary confinement indefinitely, being denied adequate medical care, being forced to work for less than a dollar a day, being denied visits due to the distance between the prisons and the communities where 99.9% of the prisoners previously resided. This means that the majority of the men *never* receive a visit during their time there - which was also the case for me. The Rideshare Program, which SPARC has had going on for almost a year now, is helping to bridge that gap between prisoners and their families, friends and communities. Four trips have taken place so far. All were successes. However, not being a non-profit, thus not having access to the coffers of the of the very corporations which are responsible for much of the suffering, SPARC survives through the love and strength of the community. The resources which exist amongst the people. All of those who have ever lost a son or daughter (or both) to a system that runs off human blood and suffering. All of those who have ever been sentenced to 1, 5, 20 years or live without mama and daddy (or both). All of the folks who have ever endured the nightmare of existence within a concrete box - those who survived as well as those who perished within the beast. All of the soldiers who have fought to keep the issue in the forefront of societies mind - while seeking to gain a few concessions along the way. And, most of all, all the brothers and sisters who are still living behind enemy lines. It's these brave souls that endure the horror with a tenacity that folks living in minimum security (us out here) could never truly understand. It's these folks that I gather my greatest level of inspiration from.
This is a common sight in India. Many who can't afford a fare hitch rides on the roofs public transportation, especially buses in cities.
Alabama Governor, Kay Ivey signs HB 190 on March 1, 2018 at the Capitol in the Circle of Flags. HB 190 was sponsored by Rep. David Faulkner (R-Birmingham) and Sen.Bobby Singleton (D-Greensboro).

The technology that powers the Bitcoin and other digital currencies will soon be found in BMW, Ford, GM and Renault vehicles in the future. The automakers and some of their tech partners have formed the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative, which hopes to use the decentralized ledger tech that makes cryptocurrencies so reliable to track information like payments, data sharing, car ownership and dealership supply questions. There is currently no timeline on implementation or what kinds of vehicles and other devices will use the tech. Seemingly every company is determined to hop on the blockchain bandwagon, and that includes automakers. BMW, Ford, GM, Renault and and a string of tech partners (including Bosch and IBM) have formed the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative, a group that hopes to use blockchain's distributed, decentralized ledger technology across many aspects of your experience, even when you're not driving. They hope to create standards that allow for secure payments for everything from autonomous car hailing to congestion charges to ridesharing. It could be useful for car-to-car data sharing, too. And behind the scenes, blockchain should be useful for vehicle ID (such as tracing stolen cars or collision histories) and bolstering the supply chain. The move is undoubtedly super-trendy, and there's no firm timeline for when any blockchain technology might show up in cars. However, this could have some very tangible real-world benefits. As there would be fewer (if any) gatekeepers, this could reduce the cost of the services you use without compromising on security -- a trip in a self-driving taxi might be slightly more affordable.

It was very early before his restaurant even opened. I was waiting for my next rideshare customer when I seen the flurry of activity in his restaurant window.
Thanks for inviting us to attend your NH rideshare event -Let's work together to help protect our environment!
NH Rideshare is a FREE commuter matching service provided by the NH Department of Transportation and dedicated to finding an alternative way for commuters to travel to and from work. Driving alone is not only expensive, but it also contributes to increased traffic congestion and air pollution. To help commuters cut costs and to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, NH Rideshare uses Geographical Computer Matching to provide commuters with information and assistance about ridesharing and alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle including carpools, vanpools, buses, and trains. To save time, money, and the environment simply register with the NH Rideshare Program.
Ariv wants the best experience for all drivers and riders. By giving driver's 100% commission we aim to be the best ride sharing company and most fair to the drivers, and by riders we have eliminated surge pricing so that rides would be more affordable.

For my last trip to see my family for Xmas, I decided to be adventurous and tried the "rideshare" section off Craigs List. (well I didn't book a flight home and I was too lazy to drive)
Since Bill did it and he said it wasn't that bad, I thought what the heck. I ended up getting a ride from door-to-door for $35. The other passenger had a miniature Australian Shepherd so I thought it was gonna be a ride from hell. She turned out to be the quietest dog I have ever met.
The driver was an older Chinese Caltrans engineer and the other guy was an older gold jewelery wholesaler. We did some small talk but it was quiet most of the ride. It wasnt bad at all!

Technicians integrate NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Follow On Lagrange - 1 (SWFO-L1) satellite to the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Secondary Payload Adapter Array Ring (ESPA) inside the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, Sept. 5, 2025.
The integration of the rideshares prepares for the next milestone of attaching NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) Sun mapping observatory to a payload adapter and stacking all three observatories together to prepare them for encapsulation in the payload fairing.

I think they are finally maintaining (through removal and reconstruction) the long neglected sidewalk pavements of the Worcester Turnpike aka Route 9.
This form of bus shelter (MTA?) has been around for some time, surprisingly resilient and getting painted and roofed just before rotting away. Others of these structures in town have been removed and replaced with open exposed benches. Weak response.
This one has a dusty coffee table and ashtray for those indeterminate waits for local bus service. Actually... in these days of rideshare, nobody is using the roadway transit services to even reasonable capacities. An economic crash or expensive fuel would improve efficiency 💥.
This location is too isolated yet exposed to passing traffic and police, noisy, and generally unpleasant to become a teenager party hut.
It is not that distant from a source of snacks, beer, hot food and sandwiches.
Earbuds and a device to stare at can moderate some of those conditions. I guess these days it remains underutilized as nobody walks and takes the MWRTA bus service. Will new sidewalks change that somewhat despite the traffic noise and 50mph+ traffic speeds?
If they build it, pedestrians will come?
I doubt it. At least not more than a few newbies.
Maybe schoolkids going to middle school.
I do like that these overpasses have built-in stairways. There was a larger pedestrian constituency before peak automobile.
If they fail to maintain it as has ben the practice, it will be overgrown and covered in roadway sand in a few years.
