A brief description of the program:
Zimride is an elegant system for the AU community to find and share rides. Students and employees are encouraged to use the online system for long distance travel, short trips around town or for a daily commute. It's simple. Users sign up and post their travel routes, indicating if they are offering or requesting a ride. Zimride finds other users making similar trips. This system has been very successful, with over 1500 registered users in the first year.
