to report a potential threat or road danger within a radius of 500m from your position. You will get notifications and alerts from all Providence users when you reach a location with an active warning from the community.
“Call [name]”
to hop on a call with a contact in your smartphone’s contact list.
“Answer” or “Decline”
to accept or decline a call when you are riding.
“Emergency”
is a feature that automatically activates if you get involved in an accident. Providence will get key metrics and data about it thanks to its sensors and will share your location with the appropriate emergency services.
