Valley Metro Commute Solutions has launched a refresh of ShareTheRide.com, with the introduction of an enhanced platform that delivers faster, smarter tools for commuters while introducing new incentives for using alternative modes of transportation.
For the first time, ShareTheRide.com will also offer Commute Perks: a comprehensive rewards program that transforms every alternative commute into earning opportunities. Users can earn buy-one-get-one offers and get exclusive deals from local businesses and national brands by logging trips when carpooling, vanpooling, teleworking, biking, walking and using public transit.
“The refreshed ShareTheRide.com platform represents a significant leap forward in how we support commuters throughout Maricopa County,” said Abigail Cooksey-Williams, Valley Metro Transportation Demand Manager (TDM).”With these new features, we’re not just making alternative transportation easier to access, we’re making it more rewarding.”
The updated ShareTheRide.com platform also delivers a completely redesigned user experience with:
- Sleek, mobile-responsive website and newly branded mobile app (available now)
- Improved trip planning tools with faster performance and enhanced functionality
- Custom network capabilities for Transportation Coordinators to manage company Travel Reduction Programs (TRP)
- Unified trip tracking, contest entries and reward progress monitoring
- Gamification elements including contests, achievement badges and progressive rewards that increase with participation.
For assistance or more information, users can visit ShareTheRide.com or call 602.262.RIDE (7433). Follow the ShareTheRideandSave Facebook page for updates and program information.
The ShareTheRide platform enables users to track time savings and distance traveled using alternative transportation modes while earning badges, tracking their environmental impact and earning rewards. ShareTheRide.com and other Valley Metro Commute Solutions programs are sponsored by the Maricopa Association of Governments, Maricopa Air Quality Department and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
