The Benefits of Real-Time Ridesharing.

Commuter Benefits.

Real-time ridesharing enables the following benefits for commuters

• A flexible, on-demand transport service with instant real-time matching of users.
• Drivers save money by recouping some of the costs of driving.
• Riders are provided with an affordable alternative to public transport, with real-time passenger information and routing options to areas not served by public transit.
• The number of single occupant vehicles on our roads is reduced.
• The cost of the journey is automatically and fairly calculated and charged to the rider at the end of the journey.
• Users are provided with detailed commute trip reporting.
• Shared Transport journeys may improve a vehicle's eligibility for access to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and other existing carpooling incentive programs.

Community Benefits.

Local, regional and federal governments can improve transportation efficiencies by encouraging Shared Transport usage:

• The number of single-occupant vehicles on our roads is reduced by making greater use of available resources (empty seats).
• Traffic volumes and road congestion are reduced in urban areas.
• Citizens are provided with expanded commuting options to more areas.
• Local atmospheric pollution is reduced and air quality improved.
• Avego addresses human-caused climate change. By 2020, we intend to attract 20 million members, reducing CO2 emissions by 73.6 million tons (about 146 billion less miles driven per year). That's about 42% of California's 2020 climate protection goal.
• Real-time passenger information for Shared Transport services can be integrated with real-time passenger information for public transit.
• Funding opportunities may be available for the promotion of Shared Transport.
• Businesses are attracted by communities that promote sustainable urban mobility.
• Shared Transport requires no additional investments in infrastructure or new vehicles.
