Programs: Rest Your Car

Rest Your Car is an incentive program sponsored by the Transportation Management Association (TMA) to encourage commuters to carpool, vanpool, ride the bus, bike or walk to work a few times a month instead of driving alone in their personal vehicle. Commuters who participate in the program and use an alternate commute option at least four times per month are eligible for prizes such as a quarterly trip, monthly drawing for $100 cash or monthly drawings for $20 cash. Commuters who take part in this program are also eligible for the Guaranteed Ride Home, Preferred Parking and Preferred Maintenance programs. Simply sign up for the program by enrolling online. The TMA will then send a Commuter Card and materials to new registrants, confirming their enrollment in the program and providing more details.

Commuters can then either swipe their Commuter Card through a work site VeriFone machine or enter their Commuter Card number online to indicate how they commuted to work that day. Participants who swipe or indicate online that they commuted to work using an alternate commute choice a minimum of four days per month will be eligible for the rewards and benefits described above.

Winners must be enrolled in the program for the entire quarter and have used an alternate commute four times each month to win the destination vacation or vouchers of equal value. Participants must only be enrolled a month and have used an alternate commute option a minimum of four times to win the monthly prizes.
