On the site members can post routes as passengers and/or drivers, they can complete a profile, upload a photo. Within their account, PickupPals can track the number of rides they have given or taken, the number of km or miles they have traveled via ride sharing and we can as a group, keep track of the amount of emissions we have reduced as a result.
