How do I join a Team?

If you are already a Roadify user, you can join a Team listed below by texting “Join [your Team Tag]”. (If you’re new to Roadify, first text “ROAD” to 95495 before you join a Team). Team Tags are listed below. So if you wanted to join the Roadify Neon Beanie Crew, text “join NeonHats”.

Why should I join a Roadify Team?

The question should be why NOT join a Roadify Team? Aside from getting delicious discounts from cool local businesses, Roadify Teams are a great way to support a cause, promote a new event, or simply get credit for your block’s GIVEs. Whether it’s the “9th Street GIVERs” or “Joe’s Café Crew”, Teams are a fun way to recruit friends, colleagues, and neighbors to participate in Roadify and help change the way we commute on a local level.

How do I make a new Team?

Don’t see your team listed? Want to make your own Team? Click here. You don’t have to be a business to make a Team. Select Block Team to make a street-specific or personal team. As with all of Roadify, it’s free! (We’ll let you when your team is ready to go via email within 24 hours.)

How many Teams can I join?

You can join as many teams as you like! For the time being, only the most recent Team you join will be credited with your GIVES though. So if you join team PPW Powerhouse and THEN team Red Horse Cavalry, your GIVEs will say “Thanks RedHorse!” instead of “Thanks PPWpwr!”. You can change your active team back by logging into your profile or simply texting “join PPWpwr” again.

Hi to all the Roadifiers out there!

We’ve made your parking experience even easier, since now when you do a GET, we will send the next available spot to you! No more having to text GET multiple times. We realize that when you are looking for parking, your search keeps going after you text GET. Check out the video HERE for more information

Today, Roadify user genehicks1@aol.com emailed us with an interesting idea about where to park when Park Slope streets are closed for filming (as several are today):

How do you feel about it? Let Roadify know by emailing info@roadify.com. Let genehicks1@aol.com know too!

Please DO:

• Add Roadify to your contacts. Saving our shortcode “95495″ in your cellphone will make it easy to find Roadify anytime you want to GIVE or GET.
• GIVE your parking spot in advance. If you GIVE five or ten or even thirty minutes before you leave, you’re making your GIVE even more powerful. That way other drives can relax knowing that a spot will be open soon.
• GIVE the bus’s location as often as you like. Every bus GIVE makes Roadify more accurate. It’s an easy we to rack up the StreetCARma Points!
• Reply with a spot’s # after you GET. This takes that spot out of the system and reduces the likelihood that someone else with GET the same info.
• Save your common GIVEs/GETs in Quick Text. Many phones have an option to create your own Quick Text. You can save your home address, like “Get 654 3 st”, or favorite bus stop, like “Get b67 dtwn 7av-6st”. That way you won’t have to type it every time.
• Tell your friends about us.The more people that use and love Roadify, the better it will work for everyone. A few easy ways to help our community grow is to forward an email from us, share an article, or share us on Facebook.

Please DON’T:

• DON’T DRIVE DISTRACTED! Our motto is “Spend 30 seconds. Save 30 minutes.” Always pull over and put the car in park before using your cell phone. Always.
• Don’t Wait around. Your time is too important to spend waiting on someone to show up at your spot. Roadify is not for spot-saving, but rather for providing a friendly heads up.
• Don’t Give up! Roadify is young (only 3 months old) and we are working hard to make it work better for you. We need you to tell us when something doesn’t feel right. Email us or message us through Twitter.

We hope these help! Leave a comment if you have any other ones.

ROADIFY’S TIPS AND TRICKS
If you’ve ever had a problem giving and getting through Roadify, here are some helpful tips and tricks that might make it easier…

Giving & Getting Buses

• The text consists of 4 parts: the action, the bus, the direction, and the location.
  • Action: most importantly, start with the word GIVE or GET.
  • Bus: label the bus number AND the borough letter: b67 (no space between)
  • Direction: it’s the end point of the bus route (labeled on the bus stop sign), not necessarily your final destination. While we accept many direction abbreviations, we can’t cover them all. We suggest these because they are short and easy to text.
    • For B67 to Kensington use: kens
    • For B67 to Downtown use: dtwn
    • For B63 to Cobble Hill use: cobble
    • For B63 to Bay Ridge use: bay
  • Location:
    • When Giving: tell us where the bus currently is located (not when it will be at your stop). Try to list the cross-streets closest to the bus at the time you hit send. This will make our estimate as accurate as possible.
    • When Getting: if the system is having trouble recognizing your location, just text exactly how it looks on the top of the bus stop sign.
      • Example: 7 av & union st
    • Make sure to label the streets appropriately. You can abbrev: street= st, avenue=av, place=pl
  • Lastly, don’t forget to include a space between each section.
  • All together it will look like:
    • give b67 dtwn 7 av & union st, or
    • get b63 bay 5 av & Garfield pl

Giving & Getting Parking

• The text consists of 2 parts: the action and the location.
• Action: most importantly, you must start with the word GIVE or GET.
• Location:
  • When Giving: include a nearby landmark or car. “front of blu bmw” or “near hydrant”. Also, label the side of the street the spot is on according to the posted ALT SIDE day like: “thurs side” or “mon side”. This way a user can judge the value of the spot.
• When Getting: include both cross streets or a nearby address. Like: “get near 6 av & 5 st” or “get 400 6^th ave”.
  • Currently, we can’t process Gets in a broad area like “get 6 avenue” or “get 6 st anywhere btw 4-8 aves”.
• Label the streets appropriately: street= st, avenue=av, place=pl, etc

While our system is automated, occasionally Roadify personnel will text you pointers if they see you are having trouble, in an attempt to solve the problem when it happens. You may be able to respond, but our auto response will still appear. If you’d like more help see our how-to videos or email us at info@roadify.com. Thanks!

Roadify es un servicio gratuito que provee la hora precisa de llegada de autobuses directamente a tu celular o dispositivo móvil, a través de mensajes de texto. ¡Cualquier celular con capacidad de mensajes de texto lo puede hacer!

Roadify está basado en pasajeros como tú que reportan donde se encuentra el autobús.

Cuando quieras tomar el autobus, textea “GET” y la línea del autobús, dirección y tu ubicación, como: “get b67 dtwn 7av & 6st”. Roadify responderá con el horario de la MTA y con la hora de llegada actualizada del autobús si algún otro usuario ha DADO antes.
