Programs
The Rideshare Rewards Club is an incentive program that rewards commuters for using alternatives to driving alone to get to and from work. Each day you carpool, vanpool, ride a bicycle, walk, ride the bus or telecommute instead of driving alone, you gain entries into a monthly drawing for $100 or $250! Your employer must be pre-registered for you to participate in this program. Contact us for assistance if your employer is not on the list of participants.
The program provides a free, emergency ride home to commuters who are committed to using alternative transportation. To be eligible for this service, employees must register with Commute Alternatives and commute to work some way other than driving alone at least one day per week.
IRS offers tax benefits that commuters and employers can take advantage of. Commuters can get great tax-free commute benefits and employers can increase their benefit packages while reducing their payroll taxes.
Park-and-Ride Lots serve as convenient pick-up points for your carpool, vanpool, or bus. You can contact us to learn about the location of Park & Ride Lots in the Monterey Bay region or click here to view the available facilites.
Rideshare Week
Rideshare Week is an annual statewide initiative in the first week of October. The promotion is designed to increase awareness about the benefits of using sustainable transportation such as carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, bicycling, walking, and telecommuting. Commuters are asked to make a commitment to use a sustainable form of transportation at least one day during Rideshare Week in order to help relieve our congested streets and highways, improve air quality, save energy resources, and reduce commute costs.
