Method and system for identifying pre-identified or pre-selected groups of individuals for transportation

A computer-implemented method for matching transportation providers with transportation requesters, comprising:

• receiving, from a requester computing device, a transportation request to transport a ride requester, the transportation request being for a trusted transportation provider and the transportation request including a requested pickup time, a pickup location and a destination location, the trusted transportation provider being an individual who has an established verified relationship with the ride requester;
• before receiving the transportation request from the transportation requester, establishing the group of one or more trusted transportation providers through communication between the trusted transportation providers and verifying of the one or more trusted transportation providers, and wherein the one or more transportation providers comprises two or more trusted transportation providers
• retrieving computing device transmission parameters for one or more trusted transportation providers from a database on a computing device;
• communicating, to one or more trusted provider computing devices, the transportation request based, at least in part, on the retrieved computing device transmission parameters;
• receiving, from the one or more trusted provider computing devices, one or more acceptances of the transportation request;
• identifying a selected trusted transportation provider, from the one or more acceptances of the transportation request by the one or more trusted provider computing devices;
• and
• communicating the identification as the selected trusted transportation provider, to a selected trusted transportation computing device associated with the selected trusted transportation provider,
• wherein the verifying of one or more trusted transportation providers comprises communicating with a third-party server verifying that the one or more trusted transportation providers have a valid license, a valid registration for an associated vehicle and/or valid insurance for the associated vehicle.
