511 Contra Costa’s Drive Less program will close on December 31, 2024. If you are considering switching a drive-alone commute for a greener option, take advantage of this incentive while you still can!
Drive less and make a difference!
Make the change from a drive-alone commute to carpooling, vanpooling, taking transit, bicycling, walking, or working from home and you could be eligible for a $25 Drive Less Commuter Incentive. Driving less reduces traffic congestion and air pollution.
What’s the incentive?
Eligible participants who pledge to Drive Less by replacing at least one drive alone trip each week will receive their choice of $25 gift cards. Select from a Starbucks, Amazon, or Target card. Or, if you want to multiply the effect of your greenhouse gas reduction, you can use your Drive Less Incentive to plant 25 trees through One Tree Planted. You’ll be asked to make your incentive choice when you apply. Program and eligibility rules apply.
Who is eligible for the incentive?
You are eligible if you:
- Live or work in Contra Costa County, and;
- Are 18 years of age or older, and;
- You would otherwise drive alone or use Uber/Lyft for trips to work or school if this incentive were not available, and;
- Agree to complete a brief program follow-up survey, and;
- Agree to receive email communications from 511CC – opt out at any time.
What are the program rules?
- If you or someone in your household have received any 511 Contra Costa promotion or program incentives in the same July 1 to June 30 funding year, you are not eligible to receive this incentive.
- The incentive is available for work or school commute trips only. Unlicensed child passengers do not constitute a carpool and thus do not qualify the driver for the incentive.
- Work from home qualifies only if you are eliminating a commute to or from Contra Costa County. Your employer must be located in the nine-county Bay Area or in Sacramento County.
- 511 Contra Costa may request verification of the information you provide. Falsifying any information will disqualify you from all 511 Contra Costa programs and promotions.
- 511 Contra Costa reserves the right to make changes to or terminate this program at any time without prior notification.
