Ridesharing is a great way to beat traffic congestion on the way to work, reduce auto emissions and cut commute costs. Now, you can also get a chance to win prizes in a series of special rideshare promotions being offered by 511 over the next few months. 511 assists thousands of Bay Area employers and their employees by offering free commute assistance and information on alternatives to driving alone.

511 RideMatch Carpool

Get started right away and join a carpool by simply registering at: www.ridematch.511.org/SanFrancisco/?client=hacienda. Ridesharing with 511 is easy and works great whether you want to carpool every day, a day or two a week, or as needed. Once registered, you will receive a list of potential carpool partners who live and work nearby. Give them a call and try carpooling. When you carpool, you will save time, money and get the opportunity to meet new people.

... or ... 511 RideMatch Vanpool

Vanpools are a great option for people who have a regular/fixed schedule and are traveling 25 or more miles each way. 511 already has a great selection of vanpools in the RideMatch Service and can assist anyone who is looking to join an existing vanpool or interested in starting their own. Registering at www.ridematch.511.org/SanFrancisco/?client=hacienda will let you know right away how you can get connected with a nearby vanpool opportunity.

Special September and October Promotions

September and October are great times to log-in and find a match for carpools, and to start logging commute trips in the 511 RideMatch Trip Diary. Log at least fifteen carpool trips a month in your 511 RideMatch Trip Diary during the months of September or October and you could win tickets to The Walt Disney Family Museum! In addition, all green commuters can win a gift card to Peet's Coffee & Tea for tracking their trips with 511. Participating is easy! All you need to do is track your green commute (carpool, vanpool, walking, bicycling, transit or telecommute) in your 511 Trip Diary.
