Setting up a Ride is Easy

Assisted Rides makes it easy to set up new ride requests. Drop-down listing of clients, drivers and destinations lets you set up a new request in seconds.

You can track different kinds of rides you provide (medial appointments, grocery shopping, etc.), select the date from a pop-up calendar, add notes and send notifications via email to both client and driver.

Split Trips

For those situations when the client will be several hours at an appointment, you can split the trip and assign two different drivers.

Drivers Can View Their Assigned Rides

Each driver can be given a login id so they can monitor the rides that have been assigned to them from home. At a glance they can see if there are any conflicts with their schedule.

Authorize Drivers to Set Up Rides

Drivers can be given the ability to set up new rides. In many cases, clients develop a close relationship with their preferred drivers and will call them directly when they need a ride. You can give drivers the ability to set up new rides, thereby eliminating your staff from having to be involved.

Display Their List of Assigned Rides

Drivers can display a list of their assigned rides with all of the details needed to complete the rides. A driver can specify a date and see the details of all the rides which they can then print off. The list has all the contact information of the client, address, destination, if a return trip is needed and any additional comments that were added when the ride was set up.

Display Map of Assigned Rides

Drivers can display and print a map showing the pickup spot and destination of each ride they are providing making it easy for new drivers to find where they need to go! Using Yahoo! mapping technology, the driver can zoom in, switch to hybred or satellite images, click and drag the map and more. It's fast, easy to use and can be printed off along with the list of their assigned rides.

         View all outstanding rides at a glance. Check to make sure all rides have been assigned, update status, verify information and more. Assisted Rides makes it all fast and easy!

      Assisted Rides tracks how many rides given to each client, volunteered hours, miles and calculate your "in-kind dollars" so critical for grants requiring matching funds. Also tracks "no shows" by client and driver and abondoned rides.

     

Assisted Rides will also report rides by destination. Allows you to really show different organizations how much of an impact your efforts are having in bringing individuals to their facilities.

If you have many clients that go to the same locations again and again, you can give the administrative staff of those locations their own login so they can schedule new rides as needed. After all, if a client is scheduling their next appointment to a hospital, why not let the same person schedule their ride? This avoids the client forgetting to call you and request the ride later, an important consideration when helping senior citizens or people on disability.
