Increased traffic congestion, greenhouse gases and air pollution have become greater concerns for everyone in the transit industry. Regional transportation demand management organizations, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), transportation management associations (TMAs) and public transit agencies are seeking innovative ways to reduce the number of ‘single occupied vehicles’ on the roads and highways. 
  
Alternative commuting programs, including ridesharing and grouping are substantially reducing traffic congestion, parking requirements and emissions. However, matching tens of thousands of travelers with rides and keeping their information up to date requires reports which are challenging and time-consuming tasks.

HB Software Solutions provides regional transit agencies and planning organizations with automated solutions that manage and deliver ridesharing and grouping of commuting services.
