incenTrip Program Guidelines

Program Purpose

The purpose of the Commuter Connections Rewards Program within the incenTrip Mobile Application (“incenTrip”) is to encourage commuters to take Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) alternatives when commuting to and from work. By doing so, the overall transportation network will experience less strain as the demand for vehicles on roads is reduced. Instead of driving alone, incenTrip users are encouraged to rideshare, take transit, bike, etc.

A secondary benefit from incenTrip is the ability to help commuters who cannot feasibly participate in SOV-alternatives identify and avoid congested roadways. Additionally, incenTrip monitors driving habits and offers customized tips to help promote eco-driving.

incenTrip is targeted and available for commuters in the Washington, DC region. Commuters may use incenTrip to plan any and all trips; only work commutes completed during the peak commute hours will offer points.

Accumulating and Redeeming Points

Registered Commuter Connections members (“Users”) who link their accounts to the incenTrip mobile app will have the ability to earn points for planning and logging their eligible trips within incenTrip. Eligible trips are defined as work commute trips where travel originates at a home address and ends at a work office address, or vice-versa. Points can be earned for trips that occur during the peak commute times, defined for the purposes of this program as 6:30 am – 9:30 am and/or 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm during weekdays (excluding federal holidays). One (1) commute trip is eligible for points per each peak commute time window. A maximum of 100 points can be earned per trip. Additional ‘bonus’ points can be earned by completing goals, challenges, etc.

Points can be earned at variable amounts depending upon a user’s commuting habits. incenTrip is funded in part by grant funds stipulating a focus on “mode shift” away from drive-alone commuting. As a result, incenTrip awards a higher amount of points to new users trying out carpooling, transit, biking, or walking commutes. As users grow accustomed to these commute modes, point values awarded will change. Below is the point structure currently in place:

As an example: A user who regularly logs two daily non-SOV commute trips will spend 90 days in the Initial phase, 30 days in Sustain-1, 30 days in Sustain-2, and then placed in Sustain-3. The user will have earned approximately $310 over the course of his/her first six months of logging!
