Have a regular carpool with other parents? Know that chore of checking with everyone whos coming today? Whose turn is it? Not sure if other parents carry their fair share? AutoPool addresses all of these issues, and it really shines with large groups, where administration becomes a nightmare.
AutoPool is a carpool solution for communities. It helps families living in the same neighborhood to coordinate regular carpools to a set destination, for example, School Rides or Soccer Practice. You can Invite other parents you trust. Each parent adds his kids, and their specific schedules. AutoPool continuously analyzes all requests, and devises the most optimal and fair riding plan to satisfy everyones needs. Kids in the group can easily see whos picking them up and when, and Parents can check when their next ride is, and whos included. Furthermore, AutoPool automatically informs all affected parties whenever a change in their rides occurs.
As a driver in a carpool, you can further configure the number of available seats in your car, and describe how it looks - for easy identification. In addition, for large groups, you can prioritize your passenger list (i.e. which passengers live closest to you and make the most sense for you to pick up).
Families in the group get special treatment:
1. Kids get higher priority to drive with their parents.
2. Siblings are placed in the same ride.
3. Parents get notified about ride changes affecting their kids.
4. Parents can make configuration changes to other family members.
5. Ride balance points are counted towards the family, no matter which family parent drove.
