What We Do
Commute Alternatives, the rideshare program of Monterey County, promotes the use of sustainable transportation options as a daily commute choice. The program assists individuals who live or work in Monterey County in finding an alternative to driving alone. Commute Alternatives also partners with employers to help them develop and implement alternative commute programs for their employees. Employees and students of particiating organizations are eligible for the incentive program offered to individuals who use sustainable transportation modes. Commute Alternatives provides information on carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, bicycling, walking, telecommuting, alternative work schedules, park-and-ride lots, commuter tax incentives, and the Emergency Guaranteed Ride Home Program. For more information, call (831) 422-POOL or email info@commutealternatives.info.
Commute Alternatives and Partners hold two annual campaigns, Rideshare Week and Clean Air Month, to encourage the use of sustainable transportation modes in the tri-county region. Rideshare week is during the first week of October. Clean Air Month is held throughout the month of May. To review press releases for past events, click here.
