With Scoop, trips are pre-scheduled, so users can select a destination, and have up until 9pm the night before for morning trips and 3:30pm the day of for afternoon trips to schedule a ride. After the deadline, Scoop’s algorithms work to automatically create the most efficient carpools based on routes, detours, company preference, favorites and more.

With its launch in Portland, the Oregon Health Science University the first to offer the app to its employees. “OHSU is continually striving to make getting to and from work as easy as possible for our employees,” OHSU Campus Services VP Scott Page said in a statement. “Our Transportation Demand Management team is pleased to add this service to our menu of options aimed at making the commute easier.”
