If you and at least one other commuter are ready to start carpooling, follow these easy steps below to enroll your carpool in the Carpool Rewards Program and start earning rewards!

1. Ensure everyone has a free Commuter Connections account (click here to sign up).
2. Each carpool member will complete the online registration form – click the button below.

Commuter Connections will review the application and send a confirmation email to the group with your official start date for the 90-day incentive.

Once your carpool is officially enrolled in the Baltimore Commutes Carpool Program, your 90-day incentive period begins. Here’s what you and your carpool members need to do in order to earn rewards:

1. Log your carpool trips using the online Commute Log Calendar:
   • Sign into your Commuter Connections account and select the “Commute Log” link to open your calendar. Set up a typical commute profile first, then you can select the calendar day (up to 10 days prior) to enter your commute trips.
   • At least 2 registered members of the carpool must log commute trips on the same day in order to verify the commute trip was taken
2. Complete monthly surveys:
   • As part of this incentive program, participants must complete brief monthly surveys to help us understand your participation, commuting needs, and experience with the program.

The Commuter Connections team will review trip logs and surveys to ensure the program requirements are met. The monthly incentive will be distributed to each participant individually. The $5 daily incentive ($2.50 for each eligible morning and afternoon commute trip) will be delivered electronically after 30, 60, and 90 days of the program.

If you have 2 or more people ready to try carpooling, click the button below to get started!

Available rewards for the program include:

• Local gas station gift cards
• Auto maintenance gift cards (Auto Zone, Jiffy Lube, etc.)
• Amtrak gift card
• Visa gift card

When you enroll in the program, you will select your preferred incentive to receive after 30, 60, and 90 days of enrollment.

What happens after the 90-day incentive program ends?

After you’ve completed the Baltimore Commutes Carpool Rewards Program, you’ll still be able to earn rewards by logging your commute trips in the CommuterCash app! Watch your personal rewards balance increase each time you log an eligible, verified commute trip, and redeem your points for rewards.
