HealthRide is where you run your transportation operation: book trips, assign drivers, track the day on the dispatch board, and handle billing — all in one place. This guide covers setup in the order that works best.

## Finding your way around

Everything lives in the sidebar on the left:

- **Dashboard**, **Dispatch**, and **Live Map** at the top. Dispatch is the dispatch board — your daily schedule of trips.
- **Operations** holds Trips, Passengers, Drivers, Vehicles, Facilities, and Communications.
- **Finance** holds Billing.
- **Insights** holds Reports.
- **System**, at the bottom, holds Integrations, Settings, and Support.

You will spend most of your day on the dispatch board. Setup mostly happens in Settings and the Operations pages.

## Recommended setup order

Work through these in order. Each step has its own article in this knowledge base.

<Callout type="info" title="The order is a recommendation, not a requirement">
You can add drivers before passengers, or set up billing later. This order simply avoids backtracking.
