Carpool plans live in a thread that scrolls faster than anyone can read. The answer to “am I driving Thursday?” is buried under thumbs-up reactions.
The shared sheet was a great idea for one week. Then practice times changed, a family moved, and now it's a museum of who used to drive.
One change means a flurry of “can anyone grab Sam?” texts while you're packing lunches. Nobody knows the new plan until it's almost too late.
Three steps, about five minutes, then it mostly takes care of itself.
Set up a carpool for one event series - morning drop-off, Tuesday soccer, dance on the weekends. Add the stops, days, and times once.
Send a link to the parents and guardians you share rides with. They join, add their kids as riders, and mark the days they can drive.
RideVillage builds a fair rotation and shows everyone the daily plan - who's driving, who's riding, and the pickup order, right from their phone.
What you actually get
Tell RideVillage which days each family can drive and it balances the turns - so the same parent isn't stuck with every Monday and the soccer-mom-three-doors-down isn't doing it all.
The daily view shows the driver, the riders, the pickup order, times, and addresses on one screen. No scrolling a thread to find out you're on.
Sick kid at 7:50? Request a swap. A pool parent covers it and everyone gets the new plan.
A nudge the night before and the morning of, so your turn never sneaks up on you mid-lunch-packing.
School drop-off and pickup, practices, games, lessons, weekend tournaments. Spin up a pool for each one - the same fair rotation and daily view runs them all.
Trust & safety
RideVillage is built to be the calm, trustworthy co-parent - not another place your family's details leak out of.
No one joins your carpool without a link from someone already in it. Strangers can't find their way in.
Riders, schedules, and contact details are visible only to the families in that pool - nowhere else.
A pickup address is only visible once you choose to add it as a pool location. Until then, it's yours.
Daily drop-off and pickup, split across the neighborhood.
Practices, games, and the tournament three towns over.
Dance, music, scouts - the recurring 4pm shuffle.
Grandparents, step-parents, and everyone sharing the wheel.
Pricing
Run one carpool at no cost, with the full rotation, daily view, swaps, and reminders. Juggling several pools across school and activities? Premium for busy families is on the way.
No. A pool is just a carpool for one event series, so it works for school drop-off and pickup, soccer practice, dance, scouts, tournaments three towns over - any recurring or one-off ride your kids need.
Yes. Every family in a pool joins so they can see their own schedule, get reminders, and cover swaps. That's the whole point - one shared, always-current plan instead of a group text only some people read.
RideVillage balances driving turns across the families in a pool based on who's available, so no single parent carries every Monday. When someone covers an extra ride, the rotation accounts for it.
They request a swap in a tap. The pool sees the open ride, someone covers it, and everyone gets the updated plan automatically. Need a swap? It happens - that's normal.
Your address is only shared when you add it as a pickup or drop-off location in a pool, and only with the families in that pool. Pools are invite-only and your data stays inside your group.
Yes. RideVillage sends a reminder the night before and the morning of, so the question “am I driving today?” is answered before you've had your coffee.
Your first pool is free, for as long as you use it. Families juggling several pools at once can upgrade to premium - more on that closer to launch.
Set up your pool, invite your families, and let RideVillage handle who's driving. Your first one's free.
