A side effect of these changes has been the marginalisation of young people with limited access to suitable vehicles or Mentors with which to undertake these requirements. The RYDE Program seeks to use technology in the areas of; induction, communication, bookings, payments and risk management to deliver a sustainable program model. Volunteer Mentor programs delivered elsewhere rely on significant and continuous funding streams for continued operation. The RYDE model by comparison, leverages the in-kind support of multiple agencies specialising in specific aspects of the Program, linked by a proprietary software platform. The RYDE software significantly reduces the human input and expense required to deliver the Program by automating and coordinating as many aspects as possible.
