Safety
Safety is built into every ride.
Ride Splits treats safety as part of the product. Here's what's built in, and how riders and drivers can stay safe on every trip.
Built into every ride
Protection before, during and after the trip.
Verified campus community
Sign-ups start with a university email, so everyone on Ride Splits is part of the campus community.
Background checks both ways
Drivers and riders go through background checks, with more review through partner organizations. Drivers also add a license and vehicle documents.
Trip details up front
Pickup, drop-off, time and the split are visible before anyone confirms.
Emergency button
An emergency safety button is available on the ride screen during every trip.
In-app reporting
Report a problem right from the ride screen. Safety reports are reviewed by people.
Community standards
Harassment, unsafe driving and no-shows are grounds for losing access. Repeat issues can cost access.
Step by step
How to ride safely with Ride Splits.
Pick your side of the car, then swipe through the steps. Drivers complete vehicle, ID, and screening checks first.
