Still Need to Drive?  We Understand.

511 Contra Costa understands that transit isn’t for everyone.  That’s why we offer a number of programs to help you get where you’re going in as environmentally-friendly a way as possible.

• Carpool to work or school and get $60
• Vanpool to work and we’ll pay  your way for three months, or start your own and get $1,000 in cold cash
• Guarantee your ride home if you drive with others but need more flexibility

Need Help Finding a Partner?

To find a carpool partner, or to join a vanpool, check out the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s on-line 511 Ridematch Tool.  Ridematch is not intended to accommodate the immediate needs of stranded commuters, and does not accomodate need based on financial hardship.  For more information call (925) 969-0841 x205.
