CT offers prizes to promote ridesharing

Published 7:30 am Monday, February 25, 2008

Join a carpool or vanpool and you could win a seven-day getaway to a resort in Kauai, a 4-day Washington vacation for two from Trendwest Resorts, a $250 Rideshare Rewards MasterCard Gift Card or two $100 Redmond Town Center Gift Certificates courtesy of Community Transit.

Sign up to find carpool or vanpool partners at RideshareOnline.com and generate a list of people whose commutes match yours. The first 50 people each week to register and run a list of possible rideshare partners win a free Starbucks Coffee beverage.

Every active user of RideshareOnline.com who works in Snohomish County or at eligible Redmond worksites is automatically entered into the “2 Tickets to Paradise” prize drawing. If you’re already registered at RideshareOnline.com, update your file and run a new matchlist.

Then, start ridesharing at least two days a week with someone you found using your new RideshareOnline.com matchlist or add someone new to your current carpool or vanpool.

Community Transit and the Greater Redmond Transportation Management Association are sponsoring this drawing to encourage ridesharing by adding to the 6,800 people already registered at RideshareOnline.com

The promotion ends at midnight Sept. 26. For more information, visit www.rideshareonline.com and select the “2 Tickets to Paradise” icon.
