Bellevue, WALocal News

Scoop is set to launch its innovative carpooling service in Bellevue on January 29, 2018, as a solution to the growing concerns about high parking costs and traffic congestion in the downtown area. The Bellevue Downtown Association's TransManage team has recognized the potential of Scoop and has collaborated with the app's developers to ensure a successful launch. To kick off the initiative, a Lunch and Learn event was organized for local employers, providing valuable insights into the app and personalized consultations. Scoop enables users to easily schedule separate AM and PM trips, allowing them to meet their commuting needs while sharing costs with co-workers and neighbors. The app boasts a trusted network, conducting vehicle history checks on drivers, and utilizes advanced algorithms to identify the most efficient routes.

With over 2 million carpools facilitated and substantial backing from major employers like T-Mobile and LinkedIn, Scoop aims to enhance the commuting experience for users in Bellevue. By promoting carpooling, this initiative not only addresses parking shortages but also aims to reduce traffic congestion in the downtown core. Bellevue's residents and workers can look forward to a more enjoyable and efficient commute thanks to Scoop’s arrival.
