Drive Change with goDCgo’s Carpool Incentive Program!

Ready to make carpooling easy and rewarding at your worksite? Starting in 2026, we’re partnering with select District employers to incentivize carpooling at their organization. Our new Carpool Incentive Program will run from February through March, rewarding drivers and riders in newly established carpools with cash incentives. Participating carpools will log their trips in the CommuterCash app to earn up to $300 in rewards in just 3 weeks; but it doesn’t stop there, once enrolled they can continue earning cash rewards year round through the app.

We understand launching or participating in a new program can feel overwhelming, so we’re making it as simple and stress-free as we can. During the program, we will facilitate carpool ride-matching among employees by hosting carpool matching events at your office and distributing a survey. We’ll also provide flyers and email templates you need to promote the program at your organization, offer instructions and support to employee participants as they establish their carpool, and distribute the rewards directly to participating employees.

Program Highlights:

Newly established carpools can earn up to $300 in rewards over 3 weeks.
Continued rewards year-round (up to $600 per year) through the CommuterCash app.
Participants will log their carpool trips in the CommuterCash app to earn rewards.
We do all the work! From info sessions and carpool matching to distributing rewards and providing promotional materials/carpool resources – we handle it all. 
Due to limited funds, employers must apply to join the incentive program. Applications due January 23, 2026.
