• Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) Program supports commuters who use alternative transportation at least twice per week.

• CarpoolNow is a real-time mobile app for ridematching. Similar to ride hailing services (such as Uber or Lyft), except the driver is commuting to and from work and the passenger rides at no cost. Drivers receive a $10 incentive per trip, up to $600 per year. 
• IncenTrip is a mobile app offering eco-points for fuel-efficient driving, transit trips, carpool trips, bicycle trips and other environmentally friendly travel. Eco-points may be traded in for gift cards and other prizes. 
• 'Pool Rewards provides cash payments of up to $130 over a 90-day period for those who start or join a new carpool.  
• Flextime Rewards provides incentive payments to those who delay traveling during peak congestion periods in designated corridors in the region. Participants receive real-time notifications and  are rewarded up to $8 per trip for delaying their departure.
