A NOTE FROM ANYA

We’re partnering to change the way we commute at DTE, in Detroit, and around the world. DTE’s corporate citizenship initiatives advance the holistic employee experience, leadership in the community, and impact on the environment.

1.

Begin by entering your basic contact information as well as your preferred role in the carpool to communicate and coordinate with other SPLTrs.

2.

Next, please provide your departure and arrival address to help us find the best ride match for your commute.

3.

Last but not least, indicate your preferred time windows that you wish to leave and arrive at both home and work. We’ll do the rest!

When you’re the rider, you can view who will pick you up and when. Notice the two icons on the top right, placed conveniently to give you access to message or call your SPLTr match.

When you’re the driver, you are provided with the addresses at which to pick up your rider(s). In this example we see a driver scheduled to leave work in Detroit with one rider who needs to be dropped off in Birmingham on the way home.

As a driver or a rider, you have the ability to message or call with a tap of the screen. Here you see an example of a driver looking at the individual information page of one the riders in the carpool.

We understand that your commute schedule and destinations may change. Not to worry, you can add multiple routes.

You can receive chat messages to help coordinate your commute to and from work right from the app.
