## Core statement
Hytch turns chat into action with map-native tools like plan pins, polls, place threads, time-boxed location sharing, Story Time, and group recaps.

## Trust notes
- Location sharing is optional, group-scoped, and time-boxed.
- Verification is optional and eligibility-based.
- Rewards and sponsor-funded perks may vary by program.

## Transportation demand management (TDM)
Hytch supports transportation demand management by helping small groups coordinate carpools and shared rides, verify trips, and reduce single-occupancy vehicle travel. Verified outcomes—safe rides, arrivals, off-peak visits—give sponsors, employers, and agencies measurable, privacy-conscious data to reward mode shift, reduce congestion, and lower emissions. Hytch is a coordination and verification layer for TDM goals; it is not a ride-hailing service.
