Problem

Los Angeles is the densest city in the US, with about  7,000 people per square mile, according to the US Census Bureau

but only 10% of commuters carpool, 7% take public transportation, and only 4% walk or bike (US Census Bureau American Community Survey).

Concept

 

Going to a meeting/event alone--looking to ride with someone?

 

With Pool Party, organizations help people travel to their events together showing all modes of mobility.

Use Case

 

 

  • Ezra wants to go to the Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council meeting

  • Ezra lives at 1904 E 4th St

  • Ezra checks to see who else is headed to the meeting.

Use Case

 

  • Mary also wants to go to the neighborhood council meeting.

  • Mary lives at 581 S St Louis St.

  • Using Pool Party, Mary sees that Ezra is nearby and also attending.

  • The website suggests “Let’s meet at the corner of 4th and St Louis!”
