Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Go Together is a K12 transportation platform that districts and schools use as a go-to solution

to combat absenteesim, equity and school bus driver shortage. Parents once approved by

their district or school can organize carpools, their kids walking, biking or taking public transit together. Our web and mobile apps deliver data to the districts and schools so they can plan

how to invest dollars and redirect dollars back to the classroom.


We would like to collaborate with students to optimize our UX/UI designs and build the

first-ever student app that makes their transportation trips safer.


This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarize themselves with our platform, products, and services.
  • Review the UX/UI designs created by a high school student and a former UX/UI designer on our team.
  • Implementing and documenting changes to the UX/UI designs
  • Deliver engineering designs for future student app develop
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Familiarity with our platform, products and services
  • Identification of app updates to be implemented
  • Implementation and documentation of updates
  • Recommendations for future app improvements

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
  • A presentation.
  • Implementing and documenting changes to the UX/UI designs
  • Deliver engineering designs for future student app develop
  • Testing plans
  • Reliability analysis
  • Estimated time and costs to build a prototype.


How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our platform, products and services
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
  • Dedicate a team member to support their efforts
  • CEO is product leader

About the company

Every school district in North America is not only struggling with transportation issues such as cost, logistics, and capacity, they are facing a looming crisis associated with conventional transportation models. There’s no second wave of bus drivers coming, and shifts to electric buses, while laudable, will not address the underlying challenges.

Go Together sees this, and sees all the potential that resides in the communities that school districts serve. It will take an unconventional approach to a mission-critical problem. If we want kids to learn, we have to get them to school. Go Together understands this better than anyone, and has the solution to make it happen.

Go Together, founded by Charles King and I, is upending how schools address student transportation. Not only is there a national shortage of available drivers, there’s an abundant need to unilaterally transform the way students get to and from school and school-based activities. It will take an unconventional approach to a mission-critical problem. If we want kids to learn, we have to get them to school. Go Together understands this better than anyone, and has the solution to make it happen.

Go Together is doing just that, equipping school districts and individual schools with safe and reliable community-based transportation options that utilize a modern approach to the time-tested notion of carpools, walking, biking or taking public transit together.
