Announcing ... Carpool 2.0 Rewards Program
The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) and Commute.org have jointly launched a 2.0 version of last year's successful Carpool in San Mateo County! program.

In the new program, carpoolers can receive up to $100 in e-gift cards for tracking their carpooling trips through Commute.org's STAR Commute Tracker app, or connecting their Scoop or Waze account to the STAR platform.

  • Great news for commuters: If they connect their Scoop account with their my.commute.org account, trip logging will be automatic. This feature will soon be available to Waze carpoolers too. Commute.org's Commute Tracker can also track trips automatically, but users must confirm on the app. These mobile apps are now available to download on the App Store and Google Play.

For every 10 carpool days, carpoolers can claim a $25 e-gift card, up to four times, or $100 total. There are over 70 retailers to choose from. So, go ahead - find a ride partner at work or near your home, keep doing it, and get rewarded!
*The Carpool 2.0 Rewards Program is supported by the C/CAG local congestion relief fund and allocations to C/CAG by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) as part of the San Mateo County Program Manager Fund. Carpool commutes must start or end in San Mateo County to qualify. Commuter rewards will be available until allocated funds are depleted, no later than December 31, 2019.
Commute with Enterprise awarded new Vanpool program
Introducing ...
Starting in November, vanpool provider Enterprise Rideshare will be known as Commute with Enterprise. Along with this name change is a new vanpool incentive program funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and administered by Commute with Enterprise. The goal of the Bay Area Vanpool Program is to increase the availability of vanpools as an alternative to driving alone.

  • Do you know of carpoolers interested in upgrading to a vanpool vehicle?

  • Would a $350 monthly subsidy help start vanpool groups in your company?
To qualify, a vanpool:
  • starts and ends its commute within the nine-county Bay Area;
  • is rented through Commute by Enterprise; and
  • is open to the public.
The subsidies will be offered to eligible vanpools on a first-come, first-served basis, dependent upon funding availability.
