QUOTA is a free carpool service application that has been developed by Unity, a Junior Achievement Young Enterprise (JAYE) company. The Unity team members are James Pace, Fillippo Vassallo Kirpalani, Thomas Alexander Pace, Chris von Brockdorff, Jordan DeBono, Timmy Sammut and Michael Paris (left to right in the photo below).
Unity proudly launched its free-of-charge carpooling service for everyone on the Maltese Islands to use. The website, www.quotamalta.com, was launched at the Costa Coffee branch in Balzan, where people were invited to see a live demonstration of the website. The company received very encouraging feedback from all those who attended the event and customers expressed that they cannot wait to make use of the service.
During the launch, the team highlighted the numerous benefits of carpooling and the potentially positive effects on Maltese roads should this carpooling system be taken up. Enquiries were also made on whether modifications can be made for large companies to encourage their employees to carpool to and from work.
The website is freely accessible to all with an Internet connection and to all those above the age of sixteen. QUOTA, with its easy-to-use interface, has never made carpooling so accessible till now. All you need to do is:
- Access the link www.quotamalta.com;
- Create your free account by filling in some details about your requirements as a passenger and driver, such as those relating to whether you prefer a non-smoking vehicle or loud music played;
- Start posting your trips so that others can carpool with you, or if in need of a lift, just find a trip where someone else is offering to carpool for you.
- That’s it!
