SPLT is an enterprise transportation management platform changing the way people meet and move worldwide, freeing up hours and cars from our daily commute. We partner with organizations (corporations, universities and municipalities) to develop customized carpooling programs, in a closed network, helping to promote green initiatives, attraction & retention of employees and inter-corporate networking. The platform enables users to see their matches prior to accepting the rides and communicate via the smartphone app. Leveraging the fast growing shared economy, SPLT connects people who are interested in saving money and time, reducing their carbon footprint and/or meeting someone new--it is the intersection of economy, utility and sociability. SPLT's closed-network platform integrates with multi-modal transport including car sharing, busing and fleet optimization. In partnership with Lyft, SPLT also provides hospitals and other healthcare providers with on-demand non-emergency medical transportation. SPLT is active in the USA, Europe and Mexico.
