Safety Is
Our Foundation

Every feature, every policy, and every decision at NorthRun is built with the safety of our community in mind — on the road and off it.

How We Keep You Safe

🪪

Identity Verification

Every driver and traveler-courier must verify their government-issued ID before their first trip. No anonymous accounts. No unverified drivers.

Ratings & Reviews

Every completed trip generates a public rating. Both passengers and drivers rate each other, creating a transparent trust history visible to everyone.

📍

Live GPS Tracking

All active trips are tracked in real time. Rideshare passengers can share their live location link with any trusted contact — family, friends, or colleagues.

💬

In-App Messaging Only

All communication between drivers and customers happens inside NorthRun's encrypted chat. Your phone number is never shared until you choose to share it.

🔐

PIN-Confirmed Delivery

Every delivery uses a 4-digit confirmation PIN. Payment only releases when the recipient confirms with their PIN — preventing fraud and wrong deliveries.

🚨

Report & Block System

Any user can report or block another at any time. Our safety team reviews every report within 24 hours and acts decisively on verified violations.

Highway 63: We Know This Road

Highway 63 between Edmonton and Fort McMurray is one of Canada's most demanding drives — extreme winter conditions, wildlife crossings, heavy industrial traffic, and long stretches without services.

NorthRun integrates Alberta 511 road condition data directly into the driver interface, so every traveler sees real-time conditions before and during their trip. Drivers can report delays, weather, and road issues to automatically notify all passengers and customers.

🚦 Live Road Conditions

Alberta 511 highway data is pulled automatically. Drivers see current conditions, closures, and weather alerts before every departure.


📢 Automatic Delay Alerts

If a driver reports a delay or road event, all customers and passengers on that trip are instantly notified via push and SMS.
