Abstract

With the demand on energy resources increasing as the supply decreases, energy costs in the United States have been at an all-time high. Despite these costs, congestion is still steadily increasing. Carpooling has for a long time been an option to help reduce congestion, but commuters currently under use it. Carpool.UMD is a social-networking website designed to make carpooling to and from the University of Maryland, College Park easier. The website allows users to search for carpools, learn more about other riders and manage their carpools. Carpool.UMD aims to create a safe and friendly community as well as making it convenient to carpool to and from the University.
