CSUSB

Ride Splits is a company that aims to make carpooling a more frequently used method of transportation to and from work or school. It handles the logistics of connecting strangers who share similar car routes by providing the platform for them to coordinate their shared ranges in exchange for money. Southern California is one of the most car-dependent regions in the United States. Ride Shares helps to decrease the need for every individual to personally utilize their own vehicles, helping to reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.
