TMA / Cluster Edition provides the opportunity to specify matches with only specific organizations. Specific origins and destinations are enabled for quick and easy matching.

The RideShark TMA/Cluster Edition is a hybrid of the Metro and Corporate editions. It is for those who want to offer a ridesharing system that is available to people only within specified and defined organizations. TMAs can offer the TMA/Cluster edition so that only TMA members may participate in the ridesharing system. Alternatively a regional service provider can offer a ridesharing service as an incentive to participate in a broader, overall, commuter options program. Either way, security and confidence in matches is enhanced as registrants know they will only be matching with people from these defined organizations.

Benefits of the TMA/Cluster Edition are significant:
