College campuses often experience transportation challenges such as overcrowded shuttles, limited affordable commute options, traffic congestion, and unpredictable travel timings. Traditional campus travel systems lack real-time ride availability, secure identity verification, and a structured process for students and faculty to share rides. The Campus RideShare System addresses these issues by providing a secure, web-based platform that connects verified campus members traveling along similar routes. Through institution-based login, users can offer or request rides, match with nearby commuters, and share live location information for a safer and more convenient travel experience. Developed as a modern web application using Firebase and Leaflet for geolocation and mapping, the system incorporates features such as real-time route tracking, intelligent distance-based ride matching, and a rating mechanism to ensure trust and safety. By optimizing campus travel resources, improving coordination, reducing travel costs, and lowering carbon emissions, the proposed solution enhances overall campus mobility while promoting sustainable transportation.Keywords— Ride-sharing, Campus Transportation, Real-time Tracking, Firebase, Geolocation, Mobile Application, Smart Mobility.
