🌟 We’re a 2020 Dane County Climate Champion 🌟
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been named a 2020 Dane County Climate Champion by the Dane County Office of Energy & Climate Change.
The Dane County Climate Champions program is a key initiative of Dane County’s 10-year Climate Action Plan and recognizes the progress local entities are making to address climate change.
We’re also excited to note that we were one of two entities recognized as a 4-Star Climate Champion. This recognition is awarded to entities that achieve 100% success in eliminating at least one source of emissions.
As we shared with the Dane County team, transportation accounts for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Our motivation is to make it easier for people to take shared rides, preferably in electric vehicles, so we can head towards a greener future.
We’re proud to be recognized by our community for our work, and we’re committed to continue providing a zero-emissions taxi service to Dane County residents into 2021 and beyond!

Can a zero-emissions rideshare startup help reimagine transportation in Madison?
I just spent two weeks in Switzerland and France (groan, I know), and one of the highlights of that trip was the interconnected public and private transportation options, or mode share. I could get anywhere I wanted using my smartphone. I could walk out my door and hop on a bus to the train station. I could wave my phone and locate an Uber bicycle near me. I could use my apps to find and pay for a cab, scooter or the subway, sometimes all in the same trip.
It wasn’t that there weren’t any cars. There were plenty. It’s that cars weren’t the automatic first choice. It was almost … un-American.
Back in Madison — where 62% of commuters drove to work alone in their cars in 2017 — Shree Kalluri was already dreaming of creating a different mode share option. The tech entrepreneur and founder of Forte Research Systems has worried about climate change for years, and he purchased an expensive, all-electric Tesla Model S in 2017.
