Congrats to the incenTrip app team -- Chenfeng Xiong, Eric Ji and Lei Zhang -- for winning the DC Department of For-Hire Vehicles Transportation Challenge Prize! Seaberry partnered with the @DFHV to explore new transportation options in the District. The incemTrip team is comprised of reseachers from the Maryland Transportation Institute at the University of Maryland, College Park. The incenTrip app uses redeemable rewards, traffic predictors, and eco-friendly features to ease your commute and to encourage ride sharing over the use of personal cars.
