E-covoiturage, carpooling progressive web app

Improve carpooling services in Switzerland between individuals, businesses, and local authorities in a user-friendly, cost-effective,

and eco-friendly manner.

☕ Context

The non-profit association, e-covoiturage.ch aims to provide practical assistance to individuals, companies and local authorities in rationalising transportation. The e-covoiturage.ch platform connects both drivers and passengers for local and short trips through a secure online database. Carpooling is the ideal solution to alleviate parking issues, lower transportation costs, promote social interaction, and reduce urban congestion.
