For hospitals & health systems

Same shifts. Same routes.
Four cars where one would do.

Shift change is the most predictable commute there is — the same people, the same corridors, at the same hours, every week. Seat Sherpa lets your staff share those drives at cost, and it costs the hospital nothing to run.

How it works for a hospital

No integration, no software to install, and nothing for HR, IT or security to administer.

A nurse posts the drive she's already making

She lists her route and shift start in about a minute, from a browser or the app. Nothing to install and no badge system to touch.

Colleagues on the same shift book a seat

Payment runs through the platform, so nobody is chasing a coworker for gas money — the reason most informal carpools quietly fall apart.

The same trip goes back up for next week

Shift patterns repeat, so a driver can repost the same drive in one tap rather than starting from scratch every week.

Uncovered shifts become visible

Staff who can't find a ride post the trip they need, so someone on that shift and that corridor can see the demand and offer seats.

Why hospitals care

Four problems this touches without a budget line.

🅿️ Staff parking

Hospital parking is a permanent squeeze, and patients and visitors compete with staff for it. Every filled seat is one fewer staff car in the structure.

🌙 Shifts transit doesn't serve

A 7pm–7am shift ends when almost nothing is running. Carpooling is often the only realistic alternative to driving alone at those hours.

💸 Long commutes on care salaries

Staff frequently live well outside the area they work in. Seat prices are capped at the trip's actual driving cost, so splitting it is a real, recurring saving.

🔁 Predictable, repeating trips

Shift work is the best possible fit for carpooling — the same people, the same corridor, the same hours each week. Matching gets easier, not harder, over time.

📋 Trip-reduction reporting

If your campus files an AVR survey under South Coast AQMD Rule 2202, shared trips are exactly what you're counting. A site code lets us tell you how many rides it covered.

🧑‍⚕️ Retention at the margin

Commute cost and hassle are a real factor in why staff leave. This is a benefit you can offer without adding a line to the budget.

What it costs

Nothing, to the hospital. Seat Sherpa is a consumer marketplace — staff post and book directly, and we take a small service fee on each booked seat. There's no contract, no license, no onboarding project, no IT work, and nothing that touches patient systems or badge access. If your staff don't use it, it costs you nothing.

Seat prices are capped at the trip's shared driving cost (currently up to $55 a seat), because this is cost-sharing carpooling — not a shuttle service, not medical transport, and not a way for staff to run a business.
