TripLogger App

 The Trip Logger app from SmartRideshare can be used to log trips from your phone to your calendar. If you have set up a Trip Log Template in the website, the app can also be used to confirm trips that are posted to your account based on the template. 

The achievements are calculated using trips you log in your calendar. Cost, fuel and emissions savings reflect the difference between driving alone and carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, train or bicycle, teleworking, etc. The calculations are performed using data from AAA, U.S. Federal Transit Administration and Victoria Transport Policy Institute.

If you have not set up Trip Log Templates in your account already, to take full advantage of the app, consider visiting the website to set up a Trip Log Template. You can set up Trip Log Templates for your typical travel patterns – for example, you could create a template for your commute. Once set up, the system posts trips to your account based on the template. These trips can be logged to your calendar using a one-touch confirm option from the mobile app. 

Note – the app does not support creating Trip Log Templates. To create and edit Trip Log Templates, use the Web Login and sign in to your account. Once there, use the Calendar menu and then the Trip Log Templates link to go to the Templates section. Here you can create trip templates that reflect your typical daily travel. Remember upon creation of a Trip Log Template, trips are posted to your account on a daily basis so after you create the template, it may take a day for the trips to appear in your app.

 You can view trips logged in your calendar using the Logged Trips menu. Only trips logged in the past 28 days are shown in the mobile app. Use the bin icon to delete trips if needed. To view trips that are older than 28 days, use the Web Login and sign in to your account. Then use the Calendar menu to view your calendar and navigate accordingly.

The Profile menu shows your profile along with the employer network associated with your account. If not associated with an employer, use the Add Employer link to join the employer network. Use the Web Login link available under the Profile menu to access the web portal to access additional functionality not available in the app. 

If you do not log trips for a few days, the app provides convenient reminders using notifications on your phone. Notifications are also sent if trips are posted to your account based on Trip Log Templates you have set up that are pending confirmation. If you do not wish to receive these notifications, use the Settings menu and turn off Push notifications.

The app includes only a subset of features of the website. For example, to check any incentives or rewards on offer, use the Web Login to sign in to your account and navigate as needed.
