You may have taken Metrolink to a baseball game or to a new city on a Saturday or Sunday, but have you ever tried riding to work? Every weekday, 45 Metrolink trains make their way through Orange County. The OC Line alone has an average of 8,100 riders each weekday. Depending on where you live and work, Metrolink just might work for you.
The best time to give it a try is during Rideshare Week, when residents pledge to use alternate modes of transportation for a chance to win prizes. By submitting an online pledge to rideshare one or more days between Oct. 6 and Oct. 10, individuals will be entered in a raffle to win gift certificates, an iPad mini and more. Their efforts also help decrease traffic congestion and reduce pollution.
This year, OCTA is encouraging greater participation by awarding prizes to those rideshare superheroes who share the news with family and friends. After they pledge, participants receive a special URL. Those who share it and refer three or more people have a chance to win a $50 gift card.
