In June, I blogged about a pilot program slated for this fall that would pay people to carpool. That day has arrived!
The pilot revolves around three of the DC region's most congested corridors and is targeting people who currently travel in specific directions. Commuter Connections announced the parameters through a press release and included the routes that would qualify as:
"Commuters traveling
mornings on I-395 from the District across the 14th St. Bridge into
Northern Virginia; the Capital Beltway from Bethesda to Tysons Corner; and the
Beltway from the Baltimore-Washington Parkway to I-270; and back in the
afternoon..."
If you qualify, you could receive $1 each way, per day. The pilot program will last for three months. To learn more or sign up, check out 'Pool Rewards-cash for carpools at the Commuter Connections website.
