Carpool Incentives With 511 Rideshare in Bay Area

Monday, June 1st, 2009

With tough economic times and gas prices on the rise, commuters in the Bay Area have another reason to carpool – $100 in FREE gas. 511 Rideshare is offering up Rideshare Rewards which is an incentive program for drive-alone commuters to give carpooling a try. Registration for the program is simple. New carpoolers register at 511.org by clicking on the “Rideshare” link.

Throughout a 90-day period, participants submit commute logs online to earn up to $100 in Rideshare Rewards. Commuters can also get free help finding a carpool match through the 511 RideMatch Service at 511.org. Assistance is also available by dialing 511 and saying “Rideshare,” Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
