Ridesharing Incentive Program: Option Rideshare
Employees
may receive a $2 per day financial incentive for each day they rideshare
to work during a three-month period. This incentive is known as Option
Rideshare, a program to encourage employees to carpool, vanpool, ride
the bus, ride Metrolink, bicycle, walk, or telecommute.
The incentives begin once an employee uses one or more of these alternative transportation methods to get to work at least five days each month for three months. After the three-month trial period ends, gift certificates are provided as incentives.
To qualify for the program, an employee must:
-
Be a resident of San Bernardino County
-
Currently drive alone to a work site in Southern California
-
Not have participated in a rideshare arrangement within the past 90 days
-
Not have received an incentive from another publicly funded commuter incentive program within the past six months, and
-
Work for an employer who has been registered or is willing to register with the Option Rideshare program
