TRIPPP Provides Rideshare Solutions for Higher Education

Many students don’t live on campus, don’t own a vehicle, or don’t have means to utilize existing transit solutions for school. Some students have disabilities which prevent them from utilizing traditional transit, or need more specialized transit options directly to/from home. With TRIPPP, these issues can be mitigated by providing free or subsidized transit utilizing rideshare companies and paratransit shuttles.

How it Works

  • Students request a ride on the rideshare app

  • If the ride begins and ends in your pre-approved service area, or fulfills specific program parameters, the trip qualifies for a voucher

  • Students receive a subsidy (discounted ride) and are picked up/dropped off directly at their destination

  • If a student chooses an area outside of your defined area, the subsidy does not apply to their ride request

  • Institutions ONLY pay a subsidy for rides that meet the controls and specifications of their ridesharing partnership

Utilizing TRIPPP is often referred to as a “no brainer.” This breakthrough and innovative model results in:

  • Parking Preservation
  • Cost per ride is a fraction of a typical transit program
  • 24/7 mobility on demand
  • Safe Rides Home
  • Equitable Transit Solution
  • Reduced Liability
  • Resolved first/last mile issues
  • Additional Local Job Creation
  • Customized geofenced subsidy areas
  • Additional drivers can be made available for events and special requests

Launching a TRIPPP Transit program

TRIPPP Consulting charges a one-time development and integration fee to begin the service and to incorporate the WAV component, including special paratransit service vehicles. TRIPPP Consulting will be an ongoing partner with your community during the life of the agreement.

The annual subsidy budget is based on projected rider demand. You determine and allocate an annual budget for subsidies applied to each eligible ride taken using the Uber platform. The amount of each subsidy can be capped and limited for each ride, limited to the service area, and the number of rides can be capped per user per month. There are multiple controls in place to prevent against outside usage. You ONLY pay subsidies for eligible rides taken based on customized parameters and controls. All unexpended funds in the annual subsidy budget remain in your budget.

We look forward to working with you on this revolutionary public transportation program. We are able to move quickly and implement the service with a prioritized lead time.
