Every part of the program, and who delivers it.
Five outcomes, one operated program. Each capability states how it reaches your site, so what you read here is what your pilot agreement says.
- In the appUsed directly by employees and your program lead.
- Managed by RideUnityRun for you by our team, every month.
- Configured for your siteSet up from your shifts, lots and entrances.
How the parts work together
One success plan, managed every month. Each part makes the next one work.
- Communication planLaunch sessions, posters and monthly messages bring people in.
- MatchingCoworkers paired by route and schedule, with routines for each shift.
- Guaranteed ride homeRemoves the fear of being stranded, so people try it.
- IncentivesReward regular sharing, within your monthly ceiling.
- Parking PassportGives carpools the best spaces, every day they share.
- Monthly reportShows what changed and where to focus next.
Then the cycle starts again: next month’s communication targets the shifts and corridors the report shows are behind.
Independent research on suburban employers in the Greater Toronto region found carpool spaces and an emergency ride home among the workplace policies that help carpools form. Source: Transportation (Springer), 2011.
Get people to every shift
What is a shift access gap?
The hours when your shifts start or end but public transit does not run. People in the gap drive alone, arrive late or turn the job down. The program closes it shift by shift.
Shift Access Assessment
Managed by RideUnityA written map of your gap, home areas by region, match potential by shift and the program we recommend.
Launch and communication plan
Managed by RideUnitySessions at each shift change, bilingual posters and QR codes, and a message plan for every month of the program.
Route and schedule matching
In the appCoworkers matched by route and departure time in a private community for your site, with a recurring routine for each shift. Pairs are rebuilt when rosters rotate.
Live tracking and navigation
In the appRiders see the car arrive; drivers get navigation and confirm each pickup.
Transit meeting points
Configured for your sitePickup points at stations and park-and-ride lots, set for your shift times.
TaxiPool
Managed by RideUnityFor hours no carpool covers: riders on the same corridor share a booked vehicle from a licensed provider and split the fare.
Keep them coming
What is a guaranteed ride home?
A commitment that an employee who shared a ride to work gets home if the driver cancels the return. RideUnity checks eligibility and books an approved ride with a licensed transport provider, within the limits you set.
Guaranteed ride home
Managed by RideUnityUp to $100 per eligible return, from a shared allowance sized to your site. More rides only with your approval.

Relieve parking
What is Parking Passport?
Priority parking for carpools. A vehicle that arrives with two or more people gets a priority space, and your gate team checks the permit. Nothing is booked in advance, so spaces are never held empty.
Parking Passport on arrival
Managed by RideUnityCarpools claim a priority space as they arrive; your gate team checks the permit, and a parking verification export records each use.
Reserved carpool spaces
Configured for your siteThe number, location and hours of carpool spaces in each lot, set with your facilities team.
Occupancy sensors
Configured for your siteLive availability of priority spaces, installed and connected for your lots.
Parking administration across lots and sites
Managed by RideUnityRules, permits, exceptions and monthly use by lot and shift, run for you.
