Rideshare Week Pledges Increase by More Than 50%

Rideshare Week is an annual promotion designed to encourage commuters to take the bus or train, vanpool, carpool, bike or walk instead of driving alone. The campaign is tied to OCTA's ongoing efforts to help residents find efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective ways to travel in and beyond Orange County.

As part of the campaign, Orange County residents may pledge to take alternative transportation for an opportunity to win prizes. During OCTA’s most recent promotion from October 7 to 11, the number of pledges increased from 2,147 to 3,306, a jump of more than 50% compared to last year.
