Description

UHC secured an app for use within the SafeRides program that improves the process of receiving ride requests and dispatching drivers to students in need. The SafeRides program, which is managed by JMU students, provides safe, late-night transportation for JMU students who need rides locally to their residence. This new app streamlines the request/dispatch process and allows SafeRides to more quickly respond to students in need, thus significantly reducing the wait time that students endure.
