Thanks to the introduction of modern technology, the commuting experience within the greater Boston region has dramatically shifted towards efficient and transparent solutions. Commuters now expect real-time information displays on subway arrivals, can track buses from the comfort of the corner store, are able to check out a shared bicycle spur of the moment or even monitor traffic conditions so as to make last second adjustments to driving routes. One mode that has yet to experience this high-tech influence in Metro Boston is peer-to-peer carpooling.

Imagine the potential to reduce drive alone vehicle trips if commuters could decide hours to minutes in advance if they wanted to carpool and be matched with a rider traveling a similar route. No long-term relationship, no need for pre-planning; simply filling an empty seat in a vehicle that is traveling the same direction you are.

Please join us for a panel discussion with the leading creative tech companies in this space - we will be hearing from Corey Tucker, Director of Customer Success at rideamigos, Charlie Knuth, Head of Commuter Insights at Scoop and Brianna Fischer, Strategic Partner Manager with Waze Carpool– to learn how they are rethinking the personal mobility sector. We will be exploring an emerging area of commuter transportation; real-time, commuter-to-commuter carpooling enabled through app-based technology.

Doors open at 8:30am for check-in and discussion to begin at 9am, followed by a question and answer period. While attendance is free, RSVP's are required. We hope you can join us!
