A Year of Safer, Organized Transportation for Delta Sigma Pi

Delta Sigma Pi at Virginia Tech

The Challenge

Delta Sigma Pi is Virginia Tech's professional business fraternity, with about 70 members. Getting members to and from chapter events and around town was managed with a spreadsheet. There was no live visibility into rides, no way to collect feedback, and no data for risk management. When something went wrong, the chapter found out after the fact. Safety was reactive rather than proactive.

Cutting Volunteer Transport Time in Half for The Big Event

The Challenge

The Big Event is Virginia Tech's largest one-day community service effort, bringing together 5,000 to 8,000+ students, faculty, and staff each spring to give back to the Blacksburg community. Getting student volunteers to service sites at local homes, and back again once the work was done, was a major logistical challenge. Transportation was coordinated through spreadsheets and in-person direction: organizers told individual drivers which volunteers to take to which address. With no central view of where drivers or volunteers were, every change meant another conversation, and moving volunteers to their sites and back took roughly four hours in total.
