You Pool, We Pay!

If you currently drive alone, and you commute to, from or through San Mateo County, we invite you to try carpooling to work.
The Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance is offering:
  • gas cards worth $60.00 for commuters with standard cars
  • gas cards worth $80.00 for commuters with hybrid cars (Clean Air Vehicle decal required)
  • gift cards worth $80.00 for commuters with clean air vehicles (Clean Air Vehicle decal required)
to commuters who pledge to carpool to work a minimum of two days per week, for an eight week period instead of driving alone. Each member of the carpool is eligible for this offer!

To find out if your vehicle qualifies for the Clean Air Vehicle decal, please visit the California Air Resource Board (ARB) website at: www.arb.ca.gov

Visit the www.dmv.ca.gov to find out how to apply for Clean Air Vehicle decal. Please read the section about the FasTrak requirement carefully.
If you need a carpool partner or want to find a new member for an existing carpool, call 511 or visit the 511.org website.
