Technology, Information and InternetMassachusetts, United States2-10 Employees
Safr operates a ridesharing platform centered on women’s safety and empowerment. The service emphasizes features designed by women and screening for drivers, including comprehensive checks of criminal and motor vehicle histories, paired with in-ride security measures to help riders reach their destinations safely. Drivers are paid above the industry standard and are incentivized to provide high-quality service. The model also aims to create job opportunities and financial security for women, supporting greater gender balance in the sharing economy. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Safr operates within the technology, information and internet sector and relies on a small team. A recent development noted in company history is the expansion of its network to the Washington, D.C. area in fall 2018, following an initial launch in Boston the prior year.
