Zero infrastructure
No new parking, no dedicated pick-up points, no shuttle to run. The app covers your campus and its surrounding area as is.
Struggling to get students without a car around campus, without adding another vehicle to your fleet?
Zayl matches students and staff within your own verified campus community, no shuttle to run and no booking required.
- Live in weeks
- Works across multiple campuses
- Full visibility for your transportation team
Zayl is flexible, instant carpooling: we activate rides that are already happening, not a new transportation service to run. Drivers don't change a thing, they just open the app when they're already on their way.
See how it worksThe problem
Many US campuses are large, spread out, and hard to get around without a car. Parking lots are full, but public transit is limited, slow, or simply doesn't reach where students need to go.
Multi-site universities make this worse. Shuttles between campuses often run infrequently, and missing one means a long wait or no option at all.
Students without a car end up depending entirely on friends for groceries, errands, exploring off campus, or getting between sites quickly. Traditional carpool apps don't solve this either: they require fixed meeting points, scheduled rides, or advance booking that doesn't match how student life actually moves.
How Zayl helps
Zayl is an instant carpooling app: the driver leaves when they leave, the passenger joins the ride in real time, no booking required.
Matching happens inside your own university community. Students verify with their school affiliation, so every match is with someone from the same campus, not a stranger from an open marketplace.
You define the zones that matter: main campus, satellite campus, surrounding town, key off-campus destinations. Every ride within those zones counts, whether it's a quick grocery run, a trip downtown, or a transfer between campuses.
Student life and transportation teams get visibility into usage and adoption, without operating a single vehicle.
