Free carpool matching and more available
There are many options for getting around besides driving, and with the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas at $3.56 in Indiana, there’s never been a better time to explore them.
Enter the Central Indiana Regional Transportation Authority’s Commuter Challenge.
Every day in September when you log an eligible commute to work, you’ll be entered to win a $500 VISA gift card.
Eligible Commutes:
- Carpooling
- Vanpooling
- Riding a bus
- Riding a Workforce Connector
- Working from home
- Biking
- Walking
Benefits of participating include saving money on gas and parking, reducing wear and tear on your vehicle, lowering your carbon footprint, supporting cleaner air in Central Indiana and building smarter commuter habits.
How to Participate:
To log commutes, if you’re not already registered for a free CIRTA membership, you can register at commuterconnect.us/register-now/ or via the CIRTA app, which you can download from Apple or Google Play.
Once you’re registered, every time you log a commute, you’ll get another entry for the $500 VISA gift card prize. Plus, you’ll see your daily cost savings and your positive environmental impact.
