WYTH is a new rideshare and carpool app specifically designed to serve college and university community members, and connect them to each other. Whether you need a ride across campus, across town, or across the country, WYTH’s unique “closed loop” system and business model offers a more affordable way to put students and the university community first.
ABOUT US
What is WYTH?
How did WYTH start?
On a frigid winter’s day in 2017, a father embarked on the ritual of driving his daughter to school. Only, his daughter was a college sophomore, and her university was 160 miles away from home. He thought, “Isn’t there a better way for students to get to and from their college campuses?”
That father was Kal (Khalil Shalabi), our founder.
And the idea for WYTH, a carpool and rideshare service that could more affordably transport students from the same college or university community, while reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions, was born.
MISSION
Create community and connections through mobility while positively impacting the environment.
