BRIGHT IDEA!

SHARING THE LOAD

Join Zipalong, the new community-based, parent ride-share service, found within your child’s school’s d6 Connect app. The service links parents who are already making trips to and from school or activities and able to ferry more children in their car, with parents in the same school community looking for a ride for their child. You decide who your child will travel with, and you can track the trip each step of the way. The parents on the lifting network must all be registered parents at the same school community, ensuring a trusted lift service for your precious cargo! You can track the trip on a map at any time and will receive notifications alerting you when your child has been picked up and dropped off. Everyone benefits, as a portion of your fare goes to the school, and it’s also a great way for the driving parents to make a bit of extra income if they so wish. Those parents who want to earn revenue will need to have a professional driving permit (PDP) and will then benefit from a percentage of the fare. Driving parents who choose not to do it for income and just want to lend a helping hand on their route do not need to have a PDP.
