Money-Saving Commutes for the New Year
|
|
Tolls increased to $7 on Bay Area bridges at the start of the year, adding to the cost of an already expensive drive-alone commute. Keep more green in your pocket by shifting even a couple of trips each week from driving alone to taking transit, carpooling, vanpooling, or working from home if you are able.
- Riding transit not only saves money but helps to cut pollution and traffic congestion.
- It pays to carpool or vanpool. You can cut your fuel costs, take advantage of HOV lanes, and enjoy toll-free access to the Express Lanes.
- Eligible clean air vehicles receive discounts on Bay Area toll bridges. It’s just one more benefit of going electric.
511 Contra Costa’s Drive Less incentive makes switching to a new commute even sweeter. We’ll send you $25 as a reward for trying something new.

511 Contra Costa strives to reduce the number of cars on our roads and cut air pollution by promoting transportation choices beyond driving alone. We know driving is sometimes the most convenient option, but every time you choose to take a bus, ride BART, walk, bike, or share a ride, you are making a real difference. Together, we eliminated 50 million pounds of CO2 from the air last year – THANK YOU! Join us in our resolution to build on that success in 2022.
