## What is LERI?

LERI is a student to student connection platform built exclusively for Rutgers students.

Whether you're heading to class, the gym, the dining halls, or back to your dorm, LERI helps you find affordable rides on your schedule. No detours. No strangers. No stress.

FAST AND CONVENIENT
• Search, match, and ride in minutes. No waiting for late buses. No standing in the cold. Just fast, easy transportation across all of the Rutgers campuses.
• Think of LERI as a ride marketplace. You browse available rides that match your schedule and choose the one that works best for you. You're in control of who you ride with and when you go.

AFFORDABLE AND REWARDING
• Passengers save money with every ride just $5. No hidden fees, no surprises. LERI was built for students, so you'll never pay more than five bucks to get across campuses.
• Drivers earn cash per rider while heading where they were already going. If you're already driving to class, why not get paid for it? It's the easiest way to make money, all while driving to class.
• At its core, LERI is a win-win for everyone. Riders save, drivers earn, and the whole Rutgers community moves better together.

RUTGERS STUDENTS ONLY
• Every rider and driver is verified using their NetID, Rutgers email, and student ID. This means you're only riding with fellow students.
• Every account is reviewed to ensure all users understand how to use LERI responsibly. We're all working toward the same goal: making campus transportation smoother, safer, and more efficient.

SAFTEY AND COMFORT BUILT IN
• LERI offers real student profiles you can trust. Before you ride, you can view a student’s full profile including their major, class year, clubs, interests, completed rides, reviews from other Rutgers students, and more. This transparency builds trust and helps you feel confident about who you're riding with.
• There are mandatory reviews after every ride. Every single rider and driver must leave a star rating after a trip. Written reviews are also available within the app, but are optional from both sides. This accountability system builds a reliable network of reviews, making it easier to choose people who are respectful, punctual, and most importantly, safe.
• You have full control over who you ride with. You pick the ride that works best for you. Drivers accept the passengers they want. There are no random matches or surprise carpools. Female riders can choose to ride only with female drivers. You’re always in control of your ride experience.
• Stay in the loop from the moment you confirm your ride. Use built-in chat to coordinate pick-up details and track your driver in real time. No more guessing, no more stress.
• Safety is not an afterthought, it's the foundation. With NetID login, student ID checks, and Rutgers-only access, LERI was built from the ground up with campus trust and student safety at its core.

HOW IT WORKS
• Drivers post their route. Rutgers student drivers list where they are headed, what time they are leaving, and how many seats they have available. We’ve strategically curated pickup and drop-off hotspots across each campus to make coordinating rides fast, easy, and seamless for both drivers and passengers. 
• Passengers browse and book. Students searching for a ride simply enter where they need to go and when. LERI instantly shows all available rides that match your needs. You pick the driver you want, based on their profile, reviews, and schedule. All control is in your hands.

And BOOM! Shared rides that save time and money.

No more crowded buses. No more guessing. LERI gives you back control.

Built by Rutgers students, for Rutgers students.
