Pick your role

Member

Tonight card, seats and needs, I’m here, check-out plans, waitlist. You still request or post the ride.

Officer

Run this hub, Command, still-out, Driver on Duty, fill leftover seats, Hub history, books. You close gaps — you do not dispatch a car.

Advisor

Read-only Command, digest counts, chapter report. FARU does not auto-email the university.

Host / president

Start Groups or Pro, redeem a code, campus Sponsored by. Members still ride free.

The night in four steps

  1. Host opens a hub or series Arrive and leave windows, venue, optional joint club. Groups unlocks this. Pro can save a template.
  2. Members post I have seats or I need a ride From the hub, the QR, or Browse → Events filtered to the club. Listings stay on that club.
  3. I’m here, then Check-out plans I’m here opens 2 hours before arrive. Check-out plans ask how you leave. Only Need a ride home is still-out.
  4. Officers close the gaps (Pro) Command, waitlist Seat, leftover seats, Driver on Duty. Students still open the hub and claim the ride.

Every night this is built for

Home game send-off

Arrive window, leave window, seats and needs on Outing. I’m here at the lot. Still-out is need-a-ride home only.

QR at the door

Tape the hub QR on the table. Members land on this night and post without hunting a chat thread.

Joint hub / two orgs

Outing and Dance open the same send-off. Each listing still belongs to the club that posted it.

Club ride series

Friday trailheads or Tuesday service — a club-owned weekly post, not a member hoping someone reposts.

Practice or rehearsal

Late leave window. I’m here plus check-out plans so officers know who still needs a ride.

Formal with waitlist

Hub hosts the night. Pro waitlist + Fill leftover seats when a car opens. Claim stays with the student.
