CIRTA holding a Commuter Challenge in May to encourage residents to try transportation alternatives

Free carpool matching and more available

With the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas at $4.42 in the state, there’s never been a better time to look at other options for getting around besides driving alone.

Enter the Central Indiana Regional Transportation Authority’s Commuter Challenge!

Every day in May that you log an eligible commute to work, you’ll be entered to win a $500 gift card.

Eligible commutes are:

  • Carpooling
  • Vanpooling
  • Riding a bus
  • Riding a Workforce Connector
  • Working from home
  • Biking
  • Walking

To log commutes, you must register for a free membership at https://commuterconnect.us/register-now/. Once registered, you download the CIRTA app from Apple or Google Play.

Every time you log an eligible commute, you’ll get another entry for the $500 gift card prize. Plus, you’ll see your daily cost savings and your positive environmental impact.

One of the quickest and easiest ways to save money commuting is to carpool. CIRTA’s free matching service will help you find others whose schedule and home/work locations are similar to yours.

CIRTA also matches cyclists, operates Workforce Connectors to job sites in Plainfield and Whitestown, provides bus schedule help, forms vanpools and more.
