Inland Empire Commuter Incentives

You’ve made the choice to rideshare. We’ll bet you thought the extra cash in your pocket plus helping to reduce carbon emissions and cleaner air was your reward. As a Riverside County or San Bernardino County resident, making the rideshare choice might also qualify you for the following incentives:

$2/day Incentive

New ridesharers who try carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus or Metrolink, bicycling, walking, or telecommuting may be eligible to receive a $2/day incentive for each day they rideshare for the first three months.

Vanpool Subsidy

The Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) is offering a $400 a month, ongoing subsidy, to qualified vanpools that either originate or terminate in the greater Victor Valley. Note that vanpools that qualify for the VVTA subsidy may not simultaneously receive the IECS $2 a day or 9-month staggered vanpool incentive, or any other subsidy from neighboring vanpool programs. For more information, guidelines and online applications and forms, visit the VVTA website at www.vvta.org/vanpool or contact VVTA Vanpool program at (760) 995‑3561 or email vanpool@vvta.org.

Vanpool Incentive

Each new start-up vanpool originating and terminating in the Inland Empire may receive up to $1,800 over a 9-month period: $300 per month for the first 3 months, $200 per month for the next 3 months, and $100 per month for the last 3 months. Call 1‑866‑RIDESHARE to find out more.
