"THE BONUS"

With gas prices through the roof and so many of us feeling the pinch in our wallets, participating in Rideshare Month – Commute for Cash not only allows you to save money, you’ll feel better, too! Walking and biking are fantastic forms of exercise, while carpooling, vanpooling and riding the bus offers the opportunity to relax. Studies show that all of these things allow us to sleep better, improve our mood and be more productive at work. The best part: you can reap these rewards throughout the entire year! By logging your trips at www.rideshare.org, you’ll get detailed statistics on both cost savings and benefits to your health. If you haven’t yet, now is the time to get started!
