Parent-led
Parent-led communities are started by families. Organizations can claim them and add roster-based family verification.
One group. One community.
A community is a group of families who share a school, daycare, team, camp, or activity. Families discover each other, connect directly, and coordinate transportation together.
Families decide who they trust and coordinate with.
Parent-led today. Verified when claimed.
Anyone can start a community. When the school or organization joins, families are verified against the official roster.
Started by a parent or PTA member.
No organization approval required. Available immediately.

Parent Directory
A private directory of families in your community, organized by proximity, grade, and activities.
Direct Messaging
Message any family directly. No buried thread in a 200-person group chat.
Carpool Requests
Need a ride? Post a request and nearby families can respond directly.
Recurring Carpools
Turn a one-off match into a shared weekly schedule with live driver tracking and pickup confirmations.
Every detail, designed for parents.
A platform you can recommend to a neighbor and a school can stand behind.
Private by default
Only members of your community can view your profile or contact you. Maps show approximate locations, never your exact address.
Real names, real connections
Each community is limited to one school, daycare, team, camp, or activity. In a Verified Community, families are matched against the official roster.
You stay in control
The app suggests matches; you choose who to ride with. No auto-assignments, and you can leave any pool anytime.
Trust at your pace
We help families find each other. Families decide who they trust and when they're comfortable coordinating rides.
Free for families. Affordable for organizations.
