To encourage San Mateo County commuters and residents to choose carpooling over solo driving, the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) launched a $1,000,000 innovative pilot program utilizing dynamic mobile carpool apps.
Carpool in San Mateo County! offers drivers and riders a $2 incentive per person for each trip that begins or ends in San Mateo County during peak commute periods. (Commuters who work at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) are eligible to participate.)
The program is now live on the Scoop network. Its app is available for download on iTunes and Google Play. A second carpool app, Waze Carpool, will launch at a later date.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is warning companies who have not registered in the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program (BACBP) that continued non-compliance could result in being cited and fined. For more information, click here.
