Problem Statement
Parents of school-aged children have to shuttle their children to school and activities. Carpooling would reduce the burden, but parents often face difficulty in creating carpooling arrangements due to not knowing who would be a suitable partner and social awkwardness. Even once a carpooling arrangement is made, parents have difficulty keeping track of when their turns are, the various destinations, and ensuring an equitable split of the driving. Parents desire a solution to ameliorate the amount of time spent driving their children to their activities that is easy and intuitive to use, allows for scheduling flexibility, and prioritizes the safety of their children.
