Ride-Share Matching

Welcome to ride-share matching for the University of British Columbia. You can choose to match with everyone at Ride-Share.com or you can choose to only match with others from UBC. Registration is open to any email address. This initiative is just one of the many alternative ways of commuting promoted by TREK.
  1. Sign up for free with any email.
  2. Enter a trip. Specify your origin and destination using addresses, choosing from a list, or clicking on a map.
  3. Search. Using adjustable search options; choose the days of the week you want to ride-share. Or, you can choose to ride-share on a specific date. The Website then searches through thousands of listings for other people who share your destination and time choices. It also checks if you can be picked up along someone’s way, or if you can pick someone else up.
  4. Refine. You can fine tune your search until the best matches are displayed.
  5. Suggest. Click matching commuters to send them a ‘suggestion’ (request/offer) to ride-share.
  6. Accept. When they accept, your email addresses are exchanged so you can communicate directly to negotiate timing and cost-sharing arrangements.
  7. Start ridesharing!

Your privacy is important to us
We do not share or sell our user lists to anyone. Your email address is only revealed to other commuters when you accept a suggestion to ride-share -- it's up to you to determine compatibility.
