FREE Transit Tickets
The Official Try Transit Program provides FREE transit tickets to anyone who is interested in trying ONE of the following to get to work: BART, Caltrain, SamTrans, Dumbarton Express, AC Transit M Line or VTA. |

Emergency Ride Home
You can rest assured as you carpool, vanpool, bus, bike, or walk to work that your employer and the Alliance will be there for you in an emergency. Our Emergency Ride Home program provides employees with a free taxi ride or a 24-hour car rental in the case of an emergency.
We pay 75% for the taxi ride or rental car. The participating employer pays the remaining 25%. Historically, program costs remain very low because emergencies are infrequent. The Alliance can help you design easy administration policies that prevent program abuse. Click here for the Emergency Ride Home brochure.

Carpool Incentives Program
You Pool, We Pay!
If your employees are currently driving alone, and are commuting to, from or through San Mateo County, they are encouraged to try carpooling.
Commute by carpool and we'll buy the gas (or gift card if a clean air vehicle).
Let the ALLIANCE do the work. If your employees form a new carpool with two or more people over the age of 18, or add a new member to an existing car pool, carpool participants will each receive a $60 gas card incentive.

Bicycle Parking at Half Cost
Encourage your employees to ride their bikes to work by providing secure bicycle parking. Quality bicycle parking encourages bicycle commuting, inexpensively increases the parking capacity of a building, and reduces the demand for costly automobile parking spaces.
We pay half the cost of your new bicycle racks and lockers (up to $500 per unit).
