Systems and methods for triggering location-based mobile device events using geo-fencing

A computer-implemented method for monitoring a user computing device location and triggering location-based events using geo-fencing, the method implemented by at least one transportation controller (TC) computing device including at least one processor communication with a database, said method comprising:

• receiving, from one or more transportation provider computing devices associated with one or more transportation providers, merchant data associated with each of the one or more transportation providers, and registering the one or more transportation providers with a transportation controller (TC) service based on the merchant data;
• registering a customer with the TC service using registration data received from a user computing device associated with the customer;
• receiving, from the user computing device in response to the user computing device detecting a first geo-fence, first travel data associated with a trip of the customer and a first transportation provider of the one or more transportation providers;
• validating the trip using the first travel data;
• receiving, from the user computing device in response to the user computing device detecting a second geo-fence, second travel data associated with the trip of the customer;
• and
• determining a first transaction amount for the trip based on the first travel data and the second travel data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one transportation controller (TC) computing device including at least one processor in communication with a database, the computer-executable instructions cause the TC computing device to:

• receive, from one or more transportation provider computing devices associated with one or more transportation providers, merchant data associated with each of the one or more transportation providers, and register the one or more transportation providers with a transportation controller (TC) service based on the merchant data;
• register a customer with the TC service using registration data received from a user computing device associated with the customer;
• receive, from the user computing device in response to the user computing device detecting a first geo-fence, first travel data associated with a trip of the customer and a first transportation provider of the one or more transportation providers;
• validate the trip using the first travel data;
• receive, from the user computing device in response to the user computing device detecting a second geo-fence, second travel data associated with the trip of the customer;
• and
• determine a first transaction amount for the trip based on the first travel data and the second travel data.
