The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing a fleet of ridesharing vehicles. In one implementation, the system may include a communications interface configured to receive a ride request from a user and receive, from a plurality of communication devices associated with a plurality of vehicles-for-hire, indications of current locations of the vehicles-for-hire. The system may further include at least one processor configured to: receive real time traffic data including information about at least one of street blockages and atypical congestion; identify an area of traffic obstruction in a vicinity of the user's starting point; select a vehicle-for-hire to pick up the user; identify a pick-up location, remote from the user's starting point, peripheral to the area of obstruction; send to the user information about the pick-up location; and send to the selected vehicle-for-hire driving directions to the pick-up location that substantially avoid the area of obstruction.
