Pogo - Trusted Carpool Rides app for iPhone and iPad
Pogo is THE way to find shared rides for your kids with people you can trust. Find people in your community - schools, teams, and neighbors - then get organized with lightning fast ride creation, organized messaging, and everything synced to your phone’s calendar. Already have a carpool? That’s great, too - use Pogo to remember who’s driving and who’s riding and manage all the changes that life throws at you.
With Pogo you’ll be the most organized and connected parent on the block.
Pogo empowers parents to…
Discover other parents going the same way (i.e., that same family you keep seeing at the soccer field) using Pogo’s route matching technology
See the connections you share with other potential drivers - mutual friends and trusted groups such as your child’s school, sports team, dance studio, or summer camp
Get rewarded for the rides you’re already doing
Get organized with ride-related messages, automatic calendar integration, real-time ride tracking, and more
And Pogo enables schools to…
Provide a way for families to easily connect and carpool to and from school
Get recognized as a school committed to reducing traffic and congestion
Smooth out the stress at pickup and drop-off
Increase the sense of community among your parent population
“Pogo has been a great partner with University Prep in helping us encourage more families to carpool. The app is user friendly, helps reinforce our strong sense of community, and the Pogo staff has worked with us every step of the way to educate our families about the many benefits of using Pogo.”
- Kathy O’Neal, Director of Enrollment Management, University Prep
“Pogo appealed to our school with its brilliant simplicity of design and easy-to-use functionality in providing a service to reduce the difficulty of transporting students. From many conversations, families are excited to have an expanded network that will decrease the amount of their time spent on school and activity rides.”
- Steve Rudolf, Assistant Director of Admissions and Enrollment Management, Eastside Catholic
Special thanks to Verizon for their support with a $1 million grant to Pogo as the 1st place winner in the transportation category for the 2015 Verizon Powerful Answers Award.
