Share the Ride and Split the Fare

You can treat your kids to summer outings and still hold down the cost of transportation! Our program, “Share the Ride and Split the Fare,” lets two separate daycare centers act as one, so both can save money.

how SRSF works

Under the SRSF program, children and staff from two licensed family or certified daycare centers agree to travel together on the same day, at the same time, to the same field trip destination.

Using the search tool below, a daycare center operator can find other centers near his or her location. Once another center operator agrees to “share the ride and split the fare,” the two operators can begin planning their field trip together.
