Carpoolio helps families share the driving to appointments — treatment, therapy, follow-ups, the standing Tuesday thing. Set the schedule once, invite everyone who offered, and let them claim the days they can cover.
Free for families.
The problem usually isn't the driving. It's that there's no system for deciding who's doing Thursday — so it defaults to one person. Usually the same person. The one with the whole calendar in her head.
You don't need more relatives. You need the ones you have to be easier to organize.
Scrolls. Every plan buried under 40 messages about something else.
Scrolled awayTechnically exists. Nobody has opened it since you set it up.
Never openedBeautiful in week one. Color-coded. Filters. Conditional formatting.
Dead by week 3Three days a week for two years. Twenty-five straight weekdays. Every other Thursday forever. Recurring is the whole point, not a workaround.
Siblings, a cousin, the neighbor from church, the friend who keeps saying "let me know if you need anything." This is that. Let them know. Text or email — they don't need the app to see the calendar.
Open days stay visibly, uncomfortably open, so nobody gets to assume it's handled. When someone drops, the group finds out that afternoon — not at 1:05.
The driver gets a nudge the night before and the morning of. So does the person being picked up, who has heard enough promises.
Set a months-long schedule once. Enter it again never.
Empty days look empty. That's the feature.
Someone can grab a single Tuesday without enlisting for the whole campaign.
Anyone in the group can add, swap, or release a day. Nobody has to text the one person who "handles it."
Mom's appointments and the kid's practice, finally in the same place.
If you're a social worker, navigator, or care coordinator: Carpoolio is a free consumer app. Families sign up on their own and enter their own information. There is nothing to integrate, no BAA required, and nothing for you to administer.
Request printed one-pagers →We started geared towards kid activities. Turns out a treatment schedule and a season schedule are the same problem wearing different clothes. Carpoolio, more like Carepoolio.
Families use Carpoolio to coordinate thousands of rides — to practice, to therapy, to treatment. Most of them found us because another family wouldn't stop talking about it.
"My dad has appointments three days a week and I have two brothers who both genuinely wanted to help. We just kept dropping it in the group chat. I put the whole schedule in on a Sunday night, sent them the link, and by Monday they'd claimed their days without me asking twice. I didn't realize how much of my brain that was taking up until it wasn't."
— Megan R., Overland Park, KS
"I'm the out-of-state sibling, which mostly meant I felt guilty. Now I can see the calendar, grab the days I'm in town, and actually be useful instead of just checking in."
— David T., Chicago, IL
Add the schedule once, invite them by text or email, and each person claims the days they can drive. Everyone gets reminders, and uncovered days stay visible until somebody fixes that.
Yes. Coordinating rides is free, permanently. There's a paid tier for extras, but nothing described on this page is behind it.
No. They can view the schedule and claim days from a link — no excuse available.
Congratulations, you're normal. Anyone in the group can edit, and everyone gets notified.
No. NEMT services provide the vehicle and the driver. We organize the family and friends who already volunteered.
Yes, same account. Most families do both.
Their own reminder with who's coming and when. No app gymnastics required.
You only enter what's needed to coordinate a ride.
About five minutes. Free for families. Your siblings can handle it, we promise.
