Description

Technological Enhancements to Improve and Expand Casual Carpooling in New Corridors 12/05/2016 The overall goal of Phase II of this SBIR project is to demonstrate a working prototype of one or more tools and/or approaches that catalyze casual carpooling in a corridor where it does not exist or to improve casual carpooling in a corridor where it is present but underperforming. Phase II will provide the opportunity to apply and build off of the outputs of Phase I to further develop the approach for expanding casual carpooling and to prepare for deployment following Phase II. Phase II will encompass the following activities: • Conduct marketing and outreach activities. • Develop a casual carpooling mobile platform. • Develop benefit‐cost ratios and market size estimates. • Prepare for implementation/demonstration of a pilot casual carpooling program.
