A new app makes it easier for Málaga TechPark workers to carpool

The nearly 28,000 employees of the Malaga technopolis now have access to a new mobile app to help them share their car rides to work: it's called Málaga TechPark Conecta, developed by TDconsulting, and aims to transform the way park workers commute each day.

The app, which originated from the Sustainability group of the Málaga TechPark Execs directors' club, promotes carpooling and fosters collaboration among employees from different companies, with the goal of reducing traffic, emissions, and costs associated with individual transportation.

The application, available for Android and iOS devices, allows users to easily register with their corporate email and create a driver or passenger profile. From there, users can offer or request rides, and the system uses matching algorithms that identify compatible routes based on location, schedules, and the frequency of commutes.

From the app, users can manage one-time or recurring trips, geolocate route companions, communicate via internal messaging, and check statistics on CO₂ emission savings and kilometers traveled sustainably.

Upcoming Features

Additionally, the system includes a reputation and rating model that enhances trust among participants, as well as the possibility of integrating commutes with work calendars to plan trips automatically. In future phases, the platform will incorporate new features, such as connection to electric vehicle charging points, integration with public transportation, and an incentive system for the most active users.

The app was recently introduced to companies in an informational session held at The Green Lemon building, where TDconsulting developers provided live demonstrations and explained its potential to improve efficiency and sustainability in daily commutes.

This initiative is part of the Málaga TechPark Sustainable Mobility Plan, which promotes shared transportation, electric mobility, and intelligent traffic management, as part of its commitment to a greener, more connected, and efficient park model.
