TI06-Dynamic Ridesharing-Micro Transit-TNC/Bike/Uber/Lyft
Status: Existing
Description
This service package addresses dynamic ridesharing/ride matching services to travelers and other forms of shared use transportation such as those offered through transportation network cooperatives (bikeshare, scootershare, vehicle share such as real time rentals, on demand rideshare, Uber, Lyft, etc.)
Dynamic ridesharing allows travelers to arrange commuter travel trips through a personal device with a wireless connection to a system meeting the needs of the commuter (e.g., a web–based application). It uses inputs from both passengers and drivers pre–trip, during the trip, and post–trip . These inputs are then translated into "optimal" pairings between passengers and drivers to provide both with a convenient route between their two origin and destination locations. After the trip, information is provided back to the service package to improve the user's experience for future trips.
The shared use aspect of the service package addresses three types of shared use that may be arranged using an internet connected personal device. In the first type, a traveler arranges for the temporary use of a vehicle. In the second type of shared use, a traveler arranges for a vehicle to pick them up at a specific location and take them to another location. The second type of shared use may be implemented as a ride matching or ridesharing service, including those provided by Uber and Lyft. The third type of shared use is a bikeshare capability.

This service package supports the 5 Big Moves in the area of Flexible Fleets and Mobility Hubs – by defining a range of public and private players, functions to support Mobility on Demand and the operations of Mobility Hubs, micromobility, and TNCs, and data flows between these services, to regional services, and to users.
