CARPOOL INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Application and Usage Agreement

Submit this request for incentive to:  Yolo TMA, P.O. Box 969, Woodland, CA 95776

The undersigned commuter(s), qualified applicants, apply for the carpool incentive program administered by the Yolo TMA.  Maximum reimbursement per person is $50, maximum per carpool is $200.

The Rideshare Incentive Program (TRIP) will provide a financial incentive of $25.00 per month for two months toward carpools formed by the first fifty (50) commuters changing their commute mode from a single occupant vehicle. Payment is per rider/driver, up to a maximum of four (4) per qualifying carpool group. The rotation of personnel in an established carpool vehicle will not be allowed, participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants must be registered with SACOG’s 1-800-commute program through the Yolo TMA.

TRIP participants who stay with their carpool for a period of one year and use their rideshare alternative at least ten (10) days per month, will receive a bonus incentive of $25 and a certificate for a car wash and detailing from a firm selected by the Yolo TMA

Submitting an application does not guarantee selection to receive incentive. Funding will be allocated to awardees based on available funds. The incentive will be awarded when the appropriate carpool has been verified by your Employee Transportation Coordinator and application is received by the TMA.  Documentation of carpool must be received within one month of qualification to guarantee awarding of the incentive.
