About this app

MoveTogether is a carpooling app designed exclusively for university communities, aimed at improving the daily mobility of students, faculty, and staff through vehicle sharing. The platform connects users from the same institution to share rides to and from campus safely, efficiently, and in an organized manner, promoting cost savings, environmental sustainability, and strengthening the university community.

The app allows passengers to search for available rides in real time based on location, time, and route, while drivers can post their regular routes, indicating departure points, destination, time, and available seats. Each trip displays clear and transparent information, including the driver's profile, reputation, previous ratings, and vehicle details, facilitating informed decision-making.

MoveTogether integrates an intelligent matching algorithm that analyzes routes, schedules, and user preferences to suggest compatible travel companions. It also incorporates real-time chat to coordinate details, automatic notifications, and GPS tracking, allowing users to know the vehicle's location throughout the trip and receive proximity alerts.

Security is one of the platform's fundamental pillars. Access is restricted to users with a valid institutional email address, profiles are verified, and each trip concludes with a mutual rating system that helps maintain high standards of trust and positive interaction. The application also includes support mechanisms and best practices for the responsible handling of personal information.

MoveTogether aims to become a technological solution that supports universities in managing smarter and more collaborative mobility, reducing transportation costs, decreasing their carbon footprint, and fostering trust among members of the academic community.
