Fill Your Seats and Win Big This July with the Commute PA Carpool Challenge

From Commute PA

Ready to make your daily commute more affordable and enjoyable? Commute PA is excited to announce the July Carpool Challenge, an initiative designed to encourage commuters across the Susquehanna Valley to share their rides and experience the many benefits of carpooling.

Throughout the month of July, commuters who log at least four shared rides through the free Commute PA program will be automatically entered for a chance to win. Three randomly selected participants will each receive a $50 Tango gift card, redeemable at a wide variety of retailers.

“We want to show commuters how simple and rewarding carpooling can be,” said Matt Boyer, Commute PA Executive Director. “The July Carpool Challenge is a fun way to encourage people to try it out, save money, reduce traffic congestion, and lessen their impact.”

Finding a carpool partner is easier than ever with Commute PA’s free and confidential ride-matching program.

This innovative tool helps connect individuals with similar commutes, making it simple to find new carpool buddies and fill those empty seats. Participants can easily record their carpool trips through the Commute PA platform to track their positive contributions and see their rewards accumulate.

The fun doesn’t stop with individual participation. Commuters are encouraged to refer their carpooling friends to the program for an additional chance to win. Throughout July, Commute PA will be sharing carpooling tips and tricks on its social media channels. Winners of the Carpool Challenge will be announced in early August.

“Let’s get those seats filled and make a real difference in our communities,” added Boyer. “By sharing rides, we can collectively create a more efficient transportation network for everyone.”

As part of the Commute PA July Carpool Challenge, here are some helpful tips to ensure your carpooling experience is a success for everyone involved.

Make your shared ride a success with these simple tips:

• Plan your ride: Use Commute PA’s free ride-matching service to find partners. Before you start, agree on a schedule, route, and how you’ll handle costs.
• Communicate clearly: Exchange contact information, and have a plan for what to do if someone is running late or sick.
• Be a good carpool buddy: Be on time, every time. Keep your car clean if you’re the driver, and be a courteous passenger.
• Drive safely: The most important rule is to get to your destination safely. Buckle up, and avoid distractions.
