  Picking the origin and destination

Inspiration

The inspiration for this idea stems from observing the daily challenges faced by Rutgers students in navigating the sprawling campus and the broader city. Noticing that many students with cars often drive alone while others struggle with public transportation schedules or long wait times, we envisioned a more collaborative, efficient, and eco-friendly solution. By leveraging the power of our close-knit student community, we aim to transform commuting from a solo endeavor into a shared experience, fostering connections and making campus commutes more enjoyable and efficient for all.

What it does

We created an app that lets students with cars connect with students who don't have cars but are going to the same place

How we built it

We built the front end using HTML, CSS, and JS and the back end using Python, and the framework we used was Flask.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we ran into were setting up Flask to connect the backend to the front end and making sure our website was presentable.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud to be able to create a functioning website that we can interact with, and we created something that we would use and could help Rutgers students with.

What we learned

We learned how to work with different people's code and how to use multiple different programming languages together to create a project.

What's next for RU RideShare

RU RideShare is still in its early stages, but we plan to add live location tracking, the ability to schedule rides at specific times, and a messaging system in the app.
