Base Bound: Community Rideshare App
Base Bound: Community Rideshare App
9 Feb 2026
Phoenix Spark is excited to announce the launch of Base Bound, a new community-driven ride-sharing application designed specifically for the Travis AFB community!
We understand that transportation can be a challenge, especially for our single-car and no-car members. Getting to appointments, running errands, or simply getting around the base isn't always easy.
Base Bound was created to solve that problem by connecting members of our community who need a ride with those who are willing to give one.
What is Base Bound?
Base Bound is a user-friendly mobile web application that connects riders and drivers within Travis AFB. Think of it as a carpool system for our base, built on trust and the spirit of community.
Whether you need a lift to the BX, the doctor's office, or anywhere else on base, Base Bound is here to help.
How it Works:
When signing up for an account ensure you are using your MILITARY e-mail address, other e-mail domains will not work.
For Riders: Simply open the site, set your location and destination, and request a ride. A fellow member of Team Travis who is heading in the same direction can accept your request.
For Drivers: Have extra space in your car? Sign up as a driver and help your fellow community members. You can view ride requests and choose the ones that fit your schedule.
Why Use Base Bound?
Convenience: Find a ride quickly and easily right from your phone (keep in mind this is a community tool, not a guaranteed service!).
Affordability: A cost-effective transportation alternative.
Community: Strengthen our community by helping each other out, one ride at a time.

This is a community-driven app, and your feedback is crucial to its success. If you have any suggestions or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 60AMW.PS.PhoenixSpark@us.af.mil.
Let’s work together to make transportation easier and more accessible for everyone at Travis AFB.
In-House Software Development Courses
In-House Software Development Courses
This Digital Initiative is currently under construction.
Phoenix Spark is working with the 60th Air Mobility Wing to create a software development course that will teach Airmen the fundamentals of software development. The course will be taught by Airmen who have already completed the Galvanize Software Development Immersive program, or who already have real-world experience with a given programming language. The languages taught will start out with basic JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS, possibly expanding to cover other languages as personnel, time, and opportunity permit. The course will be taught in a classroom setting and will be open to all Airmen on Travis AFB.
Platinum Grid
Platinum Grid
Platinum Grid is a program designed to track inventory or equipment. Originally designed in Microsoft Access, Platinum Grid was redeveloped in JavaScript, CSS, and Postgres during SDI #10 as a capstone project. The program is currently being optioned by the USSF/Space Camp and USAF HAF/A4 to track satellite and aircraft part Tail Number Bin (TNB) information, respectively. While not yet deployed for wider use, Platinum Grid's ability to generate QR-codes from entered data to better enable part and equipment tracking has the potential to transform the supply system.
Microsoft PowerApps Development
Microsoft PowerApps Development
This Digital Initiative is currently under construction.
Microsoft PowerApps enables in-house, bespoke solutions for work center issues that can be resolved through digital means. Whether this is the sharing of documents between sections, to creating a Petrol, Oil, and Lubrication (POL) dashboard to ensure aircraft receive fuel in a timely manner, to establishing a centrally available shift turnover log, PowerApps can be used to solve a wide variety of problems. Phoenix Spark is developing a PowerApps training course to better leverage this tool set to make life easier at Travis AFB.
