Resident & Commuter Programs

Looking for ways to beat traffic jams? Cut down on your carbon footprint? Save some money? Are you ready to change the way you get around? You’re in the right place. Our programs make it easier for you to drive less and enjoy life more.

REGISTER YOUR BICYCLE

Bike Icon

Register your stolen bicycle through BikeIndex.org, or better yet – before it is stolen. Once your bike is listed, its details will be made available to bike shops, police departments, pawn shops and other organizations that use the stolen.bikeindex.org data to help fight bike theft. Follow the link below to learn more about how to prevent bike theft, and what to do if your bike is stolen – and to register your bike!

 

Guaranteed Ride Home Program

Clock Icon

When you need to leave work unexpectedly, and can’t use your regular mode of commute, we’ll get you to your destination by Lyft, Uber, taxi or public transit—up to $200 in total ride credits a year (limitations apply).

 

Earn Rewards for your Commute

Money Icon

Making greener commuting choices is easy, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be rewarded for it. Commuters who track at least 10 trips using a sustainable transportation method (walking, biking, public transit, carpooling, or any other method other than driving alone) in the 511 Mobility app each month will be entered to win a $50 Shop 716 eGift card.

CARPOOL MATCHING ONLINE

Carpool Icon

Looking for someone to share a ride to work with? Our online carpool matching program can help. Just fill in your commute information and your preferences, and it will tell you when a possible match is found with someone who lives near you and works near you.
