Elevator Pitch 4

Dealing with the current SNAP system is a major inconvenience for students and that’s why I am rebranding the application and service. The improved SNAP will reveal the location of the vans at all times and dispatchers will deploy more vans when demand is high.

Additionally, students will be dropped off according to the time in which they ordered the ride, rather than based on the discretion of the drivers. This will result in more uniform wait times and make the service more reliable.

Since we already have the infrastructure here on campus, additional funding wouldn't necessarily be required, except for a nominal app upgrade. One thing I scrapped was the idea of revealing all the application users' location in order to preserve safety and processing power. I am also adding a feedback mechanism for both drivers and users to further enhance ride experience and report bugs.

Nearly all of my feedback has been positive, especially since I addressed the funding method and decided to include a beta testing stage before I release the application. Once demand is proven to be high and administration is made aware of the situation, improving the system will begin and the feedback loop will prove to be invaluable.
