The fact is: There is a lot of car commuting between the RPTU locations in Kaiserslautern and Landau. Many RPTU employees also use their cars to get to work. To leverage synergies and promote more sustainable car use, a digital platform is now available to anyone looking for or wanting to offer a ride: Join us at mitfahren.rptu.de works with the familiar RPTU login.

More carpooling instead of individual commuting: The platform mitfahren.rptu.de now connects supply and demand across the entire university. Most users will be familiar with the online interface: It resembles the system used at RPTU for email distribution.

The digital carpooling platform is designed to list both one-time rides and regular ride-sharing opportunities or requests. All offers and requests can be viewed in the overview that appears after logging in. The “Create Trip” button takes you to the request form, which asks for basic information. Additional details, such as the meeting point or the preferred method of contact, can be entered in the “Additional Information” text field. Of course, you can edit or delete entries at any time.

Sven Krumke, Chief Digital Officer at RPTU, explains: “The platform is designed to better organize and make carpooling at RPTU more sustainable. We’ve launched an initial version with basic functions. For the ongoing development of the digital carpooling platform, we’ll draw on the ideas and expertise of internal stakeholders, particularly the Green Office.”

Sven Krumke is also the coordinating contact person for the system. He welcomes suggestions for improvement at cdo[at]rptu.de.
