SureLifts is a proposed mobile ridesharing portal that would match commuters needing transportation with drivers who have spare seats in their vehicles traveling similar routes. The service aims to provide economical and efficient transportation options to alleviate commuting problems. It would use mobile technology to match postal codes and times to generate a shortlist of potential ridesharing partners for commuters while keeping identities private. Both parties could then privately negotiate ride details and exchange contact information to coordinate the transportation. The goal is for the service to be a safe and viable option for anyone, including women and children.
