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.
The cloud-based RideAmigos commuter platform gives users instant access to complete trip-planning resources. Students, faculty, and staff can create custom journey plans using mobility aggregation options, including:
Turn-by-turn, step-by-step directions make it easy for students to find the fastest and safest walking and biking routes to and from campus. Local bikeshare locations are displayed to help users think creatively about their options.
Connect in real time to municipal and regional transit networks. Trip planners, schedules, and up-to-the-minute service information are all covered. Any transit, bus, or shuttle services that use industry-standard GTFS feeds can be displayed on the trip planning map.
Staff and students can make instant arrangements to participate in local carpooling and university ridesharing networks.
Avoid congested commuter corridors, find the most convenient parking options, and reduce idle time and emissions.
Students can instantly compare travel times and costs while factoring in the health perks and environmental impacts of each option.
In addition, educational institutions can offer additional incentives for ongoing use of preferred commute mods using our advanced commuter rewards platform.
Administrators will also benefit from comprehensive user management and reporting tools. These tools help budget managers and decision-makers implement the solutions that best meet the needs of their campus communities.
The inclusive nature of our commuter engagement platform also ensures that staff and students with special needs have complete access to a full range of university transportation options.

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.
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.
Your school community will also benefit from:
· Reduced congestion in pick-up and drop-off areas
· Fewer pedestrian hazards around the school area
· More efficient allocation of parking resources
· Scheduling advantages and time savings
· Transportation programs that incorporate walking or biking, which can also improve student academic performance
