Rideshare Week Kicks Off in Orange County

As we settle into our fall routines, it’s time to break the habit of driving solo and try sharing the ride from Monday, Oct. 1 to Friday, Oct. 5. 

Rideshare Week encourages commuters to give up driving solo and walk, bike, carpool, vanpool or take the bus or train to work.

And with a train station in San Juan Capistrano’s historic downtown, taking the train is a stress-free and economical way to get to where you need to go.

Those who pledge to participate in Rideshare Week can win a variety of prizes including iPads, gift cards, movie tickets and bike gear. 

Rideshare Week is a part of OCTA’s Share the Ride program, which is aimed at helping commuters find efficient, environmentally friendly and cost effective ways to commute to work. The program, sponsored by the Orange County Transportation Authority, can help commuters find a vanpool, plan a trip by bus or train and find a carpool partner.

Rideshare week is sponsored by OCTA, Anaheim Resort Transit, Enterprise Rideshare, VPSI Inc., Spectrumotion, Kaiser Permanente and Jax Bicycle Center.
