Paying for a ride, or giving extra
Anyone can use the service for transportation by paying the suggested normal local fare, and can choose to give more than the fare to support free rides. Ride payment details are coming at launch. We don't accept ride payments or donations online yet.
About taxes: A payment for a ride is payment for a service and is not tax-deductible. Any amount you give above the ride's fair market value (the normal local fare) is a charitable donation and may be tax-deductible once Free Rides Save Lives Inc. receives IRS 501(c)(3) recognition, which is pending. Your year-end receipt will show what you paid and the value of the rides you received, as the IRS requires. Talk to your tax advisor.
A donation with nothing received in return remains fully deductible once that status is granted, which is also pending.
