The Transportation Authority of Marin has invited Golden Gate Larkspur Ferry riders to participate in a real-time ridesharing program aimed at improving air quality and reducing congestion in Marin County.
How is this ridesharing program different than regular carpooling? Real-time ridesharing offers all the benefits of carpooling without any of the commitment. You can drive in the HOV lane on Highway 101 and park at close-in HOV parking at the Golden Gate Larkspur Ferry Terminal without needing to keep a consistent schedule or a commitment beyond a single shared ride.
Also, you can use your smart phone or computer to find and share rides immediately or in the future. And by immediately, we mean that you can find a ride partner within minutes by calling or texting through the app. And as an extra incentive, you can earn cash rewards and incentives for rides shared during February.
If you are interested, you can sign up and find out more by joining the WeGoMarin ridesharing program at www.wegomarin.com. After you’ve signed up, be sure to download the Avego RTR app from the iPhone app store or from the Google app store for Android users. Then you can start the app and login to start finding and sharing rides. Once you join, the WeGoMarin Beta team will contact you about how you can earn cash and prizes by sharing rides with your friends on Golden Gate Ferry.
Sharing rides is good for you and for the environment because you can use Highway 101 HOV lanes and HOV parking at the ferry terminal while reducing pollution and cars on the road. It’s cheaper because you share the driving and the gas. And it’s smarter and more efficient because the latest technology matches drivers and riders.
