“Walk w/ Me” is an Uber-like service where you can find other people that are walking the same way that you are. With the app you would select your destination and would offer suggestions of other users that are going to be going to that place or close to it. Then you would send a request to walk with the other person.
This service could be offered through Ohio State’s app, which would give a layer of security to the system and allow the university to know when and where people are using the app. Another layer of accountability would be in the rating system, similar again to Uber or other ride share services. After the walk, you could rate the other walker and leave a description of how it went. All of that would accumulate on the users profile so other people know which users are the best to walk with.
