Rideshare Week is an annual campaign usually the first week in October. The campaign aims to promote the use and benefits of transportation alternatives to driving alone, particularly sharing the ride to work (carpool, vanpool, and transit). Activities generally include employer registration and asking commuters to use a shared mode during that week. Promotions focus on carpooling, transit, and vanpooling. Employers will receive one Diamond Award point for registering for Rideshare and additional points for other eligible activities.
The San Diego region celebrated Rideshare Week with 59 registered employers, encouraging thousands of employees to try ridesharing by choosing to carpool, vanpool, or take transit to work. Clean Air Day was added to the Fall campaign, as some local employers were not back in the office yet, they are still working from home or have a hybrid working schedule. Thank you to the 80 employers who pledged their organizations for Clean Air Day!

Rideshare 2019 sweepstakes
Meet Joe W., a carpooler from Watkins Wellness who won an iPad for showing us how he reimagined his commute during Rideshare Week 2019. Joe says "My carpool buddy and I (of 1 year) have a lot of fun conversations that not only help pass the time on the I-15 & 78, but most importantly, help our envionment and the traffic commute of others."
