Thank you for joining SANDAG in taking the pledge to Rideshare for Clean Air during Rideshare Week (Monday, October 3 – Sunday, October 9), as we celebrated the many benefits of choosing sustainable transportation. Pledges were open to individuals and organizations. By choosing to rideshare however frequently, you saved money, reduced roadway congestion, and improved the San Diego region’s air quality. Even though Rideshare Week 2022 is over, you can choose to share the ride all year long! Small changes make a BIG impact.

Individuals: Pledge participants chose to carpool (including Lyft Shared and UberPool), vanpool, bike, walk, or ride transit. Participants who shared a photo while ridesharing between October 3-9 and tagged #RideshareSD on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter were also entered into the social media sweepstakes for the chance to win a prize.

Individuals who took the pledge enjoyed these Rideshare Week promotions:

• Encinitas BCycle offered free e-bike trips all day on Monday, October 3.
• Lime Scooters gave riders 15% off 2 rides with the code "LIMERIDESHAREWEEK." Promo code was valid October 3-9. 

• Free Ride Day was Wednesday, October 5, with MTS and NCTD.

• Lyft offered users a $5 credit using code "SDRSW22" on Wednesday, October 5, for those looking to travel via rideshare or scooter.

SANDAG Vanpool Program Rideshare Week promotions: 

• Green Commuter offered 10% off the first month of any new vanpool that formed before Sunday, October 9.

• Commute with Enterprise will provide a $100 fuel card for any new vanpool that forms or pre-registers before Monday, October 31. Eligible vanpools must have a San Diego region destination. Reference Rideshare Week when inquiring.
