Abstract: RideTogether is a community-driven ride-sharing platform designed to tackle urban challenges such as traffic congestion, high commuting costs, and environmental concerns. By integrating carpooling, bike-sharing, and alternative transport options, it offers an affordable and eco-friendly commuting solution. Unlike traditional ride-hailing services, RideTogether prioritizes user verification, AI-powered ride matching, and secure digital transactions to enhance safety and efficiency. It supports multiple transport modes, including cars, bikes, scooters, and public transit, while features like a built-in wallet, automated fare splitting, and a carbon footprint tracker promote seamless payments and sustainable travel choices. Safety measures such as ID verification, live tracking, and an SOS emergency button ensure a secure ride-sharing experience. Additionally, the platform fosters community engagement through workplace carpools, college rideshares, and local ride groups, supported by an admin dashboard for ride analytics, user management, and policy enforcement. Future enhancements, including EV ride-sharing, AI-driven fare optimization, and loyalty rewards, aim to further improve user engagement. By reducing commuting costs, easing traffic congestion, and fostering trust-based ride-sharing, RideTogether aspires to revolutionize urban mobility with a scalable and efficient transportation solution.
