Abstract	EcoPool is the new web based carpooling site that links the drivers with empty seats with the riders seeking convenient, cheap and environmental friendly mode of transport. It was created with Tailwind CSS and Firebase, and it provides real-time user authentication, interactive maps, which display routes, and clever functions that will pair up riders with appropriate drivers .The platform is more concerned with the privacy of the users, such as the safety options available to women, emergency contacts, or real-time tracking of the trips. Accessibility is also in the priority order and access to visually challenged users is provided, although the webpage is compatible with the use of a screen-reader and a voice-activated AI assistant to use hands-free. EcoPool is a working prototype, as well as a physical representation of smart ride-sharing concepts of the present-day research in the transportation system online. It aims to contribute to lessening the traffic in cities, reduction of individual costs on travel, and promotion of more reasonable commutation.
