Zimride Comes to CU

Zimride launched a new rideshare community at CU.  The Zimride platform connects CU Boulder community members looking to share their ride through an easy to use private network that will reduce campus traffic, parking difficulties and provide substantial cost-savings for our community.  Through its website and Carpool application on Facebook, Zimride combines social networks and a proprietary route-matching algorithm to make it easy for users to share seats or find a ride.

"We are excited about the opportunity to significantly decrease our impact on the environment," said Peter Roper of the CU Environmental Center.  "Zimride's solution is appealing to our students, faculty and staff, which will enable us to reduce congestion and make campus commuting more efficient for everyone."

Zimride has developed a custom carpool solution to serve CU Boulder's campus population.  Through Zimride's web-based interface, faculty, staff and students will be able to find others with similar daily commuting patterns or one-time rides needs.  Zimride's system integrates with Facebook to develop trust and feedback among users.
