Campus Mobility Solutions

Providing user-friendly, low-cost campus mobility options can be challenging for colleges and universities, particularly in larger urban centers.

Administrators need to balance student access to affordable, reliable transportation with the need to manage traffic and reduce demand for on-campus parking.

This is where the groundbreaking RideAmigos platform can help.

Easy Options + Premium Rewards = Success!

Students can instantly compare travel times and costs while factoring in the health perks and environmental impacts of each option.

K-12 Schoolpool Solutions

Big yellow buses have long been the hallmark of school transportation. Yet, in today’s age of soaring costs and shrinking budgets, school administrators have to be creative in their search for savings. At RideAmigos, we’ve responded by developing a set of innovative commuter engagement tools for K-12 schools.

The concept of the schoolpool is at the center of our solutions. Use it to meet student transportation needs while keeping costs to an absolute minimum.

School Transportation - Busses

Schoolpools are carpools parents use to help get their students to and from school as efficiently as possible.

Our goal is to connect students who need rides with parents who offer them, and our program has already proven to be a great success.

Adopted by the Denver Regional Council of Governments, our schoolpool tools helped consolidate student transportation needs at a long list of charter schools in the area. Within a year, we linked 16,000 families and children at more than 125 schools with personalized matches to schoolpool ride-sharing programs.

Our easy-to-use tools also led to the formation of over 6,000 new schoolpools. These communities have an average size of 2.6 families, and operate 4.4 days per week over an average distance of 7.8 miles.

RideAmigos school transportation software helps K-12 schools save money, improve safety and foster a stronger sense of community.

Schools that adopt schoolpool programs save much-needed money for essential programs that lead to a better education. That’s the biggest and most obvious benefit of our platform, but we also improve safety and help schools build stronger communities.

Schoolpools help parents connect and build friendships with one another, all while giving students a great platform for socializing outside the classroom. They also deliver a safe alternative to walking long distances to and from school, easing worries for working parents who aren’t able to pick their children up in person every day.
