- Members
- FAQs

The new site also makes use of the following custom tools:

Powered by Google Transit, the trip planner allows users to enter start/end addresses, dates and times and receive a transit plan through Google.

Driving Calculator

The driving calculator allows users to enter select data and estimate how much they will spend on driving costs.

Custom Ecommerce Functionality

The site also makes use of a fairly customized version of the idev eCommerce system, edited to have a unique "product" catalog, focusing on allowing customers to purchase Monthly Passes, 10-ride Tickets, and Vanpool payments.
