Waze Carpool Discount in Irvine Ends Aug. 1

If you commute to or from Irvine, there’s only a few more weeks to do it for only $2 each way. That’s the low price offered by Waze Carpool through Aug. 1 for Irvine commutes of any length.

Waze Carpool connects riders and drivers with nearly identical commutes based on their home and destination addresses.

Here’s how it works: Waze Carpool matches up to five people with nearly identical commutes based on their home and destination addresses.

Commuters can choose to be a driver or a rider. Drivers earn gas money and riders pay a small rate to cover the costs of gas and vehicle wear and tear.

Along with Spectrumotion and the University of California Irvine, OCTA is assisting with this incentive by promoting the offer and sharing it with employers in the Irvine area. For more about the Waze Carpool program, click here.

Through its Rideshare Program, OCTA helps commuters, employers and everyday travelers explore alternative modes of transportation. Learn more about it here.
