Available to iOS, Android and desktop users, the app will be updated automatically for existing users and is aimed at making commuting “a simple and rewarding part of a daily routine.”
Offerings include carpool matching by connecting commuters with neighbors, colleagues and friends who are traveling to the same destination; free parking at Park & Ride lots so users can transfer to a carpool, vanpool or transit; and a Commute with Enterprise partnership enables commuters to lease a seven- to 15-passenger van or SUV with costs divided among riders with a monthly $100 subsidy to qualified commuters.
Users can also track money or gallons of gas saved, as well as reduced travel miles and carbon dioxide emissions.
