When choosing how to get around – commuting, running errands, or going out – cost can be a factor. But now, one of your transportation options gives you chances to win money!
With Big Win on Transit, for every day you take transit Monday through Sunday, you earn an entry in that week’s drawing for $511. So, the more often you choose transit, the more likely you are to win. If you’re 18+ and live or work in Contra Costa County, you’re eligible to participate.
How to Participate
Putting yourself in the running is easy. First, create your Big Win on Transit account. After that, log your week’s trips (Monday-Sunday) by Sunday at midnight. During the trip-logging process, you’ll upload proof of your rides – a screenshot of a Clipper card transaction showing at least one ride during that week, or a photo of your digital ticket or paper bus pass.
You can log your trips daily or enter them all at once, as long as you get them in by the deadline. Weekly drawings for $511 take place every Monday.

With May being bike month, you might find yourself reaching for your bike helmet instead of the car keys. An easy way to remember what to check on your bike before heading out, especially if you haven’t ridden it in a while, is ‘ABC Quick Check‘:
A – Air: Check the air in your tires. Inflate to the pressure listed on the side of the tire. Spin the wheels and check for wear. If there’s less than 1/4” of tread, it’s time for a new set.
B – Brakes: Brake levers should stop short of reaching the handlebar when pulled. Brake pads should be clean, straight, and contact the rims. You should still be able to see the pattern of grooves in the brake pads. Check coaster brakes by spinning the back wheel and pushing the pedal backward.
C – Chain: The chain should move freely, be free of rust, and lightly oiled. Pro tip: Avoid solvents like WD40 on your chain – use a lubricant instead.
Quick – Quick-release levers: If your bike has quick-release levers, make sure they are all closed.
Check – Give the bike a gentle bounce, looking and listening for anything loose: Take a slow, brief ride to check that your bike seat and handlebars are adjusted to the right height and that everything is working properly.
If your bike needs attention beyond the ABC’s, take it to a local bike shop for a thorough tune-up.
