This role involves aiding individuals in recognizing safe riding spaces within their community, ultimately inspiring and encouraging them to utilize Indego for their rides. Community Ambassadors will also share information on how to sign up for an Indego pass and the various pass options, in addition to Indego’s expansion and how communities can be a part of the process.

Hello,
I would like to apply to be an Indego Ambassador. Is this position only open for non-profits and not individuals? I work for Delaware County as a transportation planner, live in South Philadelphia and would love to be a part of this effort.
Hi Mihir! Yes, you can apply as an individual.
I would like to speak to someone. I have questions before I make a commitment. I am retired but very active in the community.
