Getting Started
Step 1
One person in your rideshare group creates a group in the Commute Together app and invites everyone else to join.
This person will be a group coordinator and will be able to set the driver schedule and manage the group. Once other people join you can make them coordinators also if you would like.
Create an account
Your phone number should be a phone that you can receive texts on. Other group members will be able to text you through the app.
We do not share your information with anyone except the people in your group.
Create a group
Enter a name for your group and tap "Create".
This name will show at the top of the app. People can be in more than one group so this helps them identify which group they are currently viewing.
Invite the rest of your group
Enter the email addresses of the other people in your group. You can tap the "+ Add" button to add more than one person at a time. Once you have added all the emails tap "Send Invitations". An email will be sent to each one with a unique code they will need to join your group.
No one can join your group without a code.
Step 2
Everyone you invited creates an account and joins your group.
The invitation email will include a one-time use code that they can enter to join your group.
