goDMV Commuter Competition

goDMV registration opens February 1 and will stay open until May 8, but the sooner you register, the more points and rewards you’ll qualify to earn!

If you are commuting into or within the DC metro area (shaded area on this map plus Calvert County), you can enter into the goDMV Commuter Competition when the goDMV JOIN NOW button appears on your account starting February 1.

Yes – if you are commuting into or within the DC metro area (shaded area on this map plus Calvert County, MD), you can enter the goDMV Commuter Competition! Just press the goDMV JOIN NOW button on your account to get started.

If you aren’t commuting to an employer in the DC metro area, you won’t be able to participate in goDMV.

If you do commute to an employer in the DC metro area and don’t see the JOIN NOW button in your account on or after February 1, please double check the following:

• make sure your employer information on your account is correct and update it if needed,
• make sure you are using the most current version of CommuterCash (1.7.3 and up)

Still don’t see the JOIN NOW button? Reach out to the Commuter Connections goDMV team for account support at 800-745-7433 or [email protected].

If your employer has formed an official goDMV team, you’ll see the Employer Leaderboard in your app and your employer team name and ranking after you have registered for goDMV (you’ll see the Commuter Leaderboard below the Employer Leaderboard).

Don’t see the Employer Leaderboard? Make sure your CommuterCash account is updated with your correct employer information – reach out to the Commuter Connections goDMV team for support: 800-745-7433 or [email protected].

You’ll earn points towards the Commuter and (if applicable) Employer leaderboards by logging your trips in the CommuterCash app or online calendar. Here’s what counts April 1 – May 15:

• 1 non-drive alone trip logged = 1 goDMV point.
• 6 trips may be logged per day (earns up to 6 goDMV points per day)*.
• Commute and non-commute trips earn goDMV points.
• Trips may be logged all seven days of the week.
• Once you complete a trip, your goDMV points are added to your total on the Commuter Leaderboard, and if you’re part of a registered employer team, your points will also be added to your team’s total on the Employer Leaderboard.

*Up to two of those trips may be logged in the online calendar (this includes logging telework commutes). We highly encourage you to use CommuterCash to log as many real-time trips as possible to maximize the number of trips you can log each day AND qualify for additional bonuses and rewards.

The goDMV Commuter Competition takes place April 1 through May 15.

You have two options for logging trips for the goDMV Commuter Competition:

Log trips in the CommuterCash app (preferred option):

• Open the app (you may need to log in) and tap Log Trip.
• Select your trip mode and destination, then tap the Start Trip button.
• You’re on your way! The app should end the trip automatically when you reach your destination, but in case it doesn’t, tap the End Trip button to stop tracking.
• You can log up to six trips per day in the app to count towards your leaderboard totals

To log a trip in the online Commute Log calendar:

• Log into your Commuter Connections account.
• Select Commute Log – the first time you do this, you’ll be prompted to set up a typical commute profile.
• Select the calendar day and log your trips.
• Note: you can only log up to two trips per day with this option, including logging telework commutes.

Logging trips in CommuterCash allows you to earn more goDMV points towards your commuter and team leaderboards (if applicable), and chances to earn points in your personal CommuterCash balance.

Visit our Guide to Earning Points for quick overview of the differences and benefits of each option.

You can log commute and non-commute trips, six trips per-day, seven days per week, as long as they are “sustainable” trips:

• walk
• bike/scooter
• transit
• carpool
• vanpool
• telework

Drive alone trips do not contribute points to the goDMV Commuter Competition.

If you have a multimodal trip (e.g., you drive to the train station, take the train and/or a bus, then walk or bikeshare the last few blocks to work), log your trip based on the mode of transportation used for the longest distance.

The Log Telework button will be activated in the CommuterCash app starting April 1.

Logging telework trips for the 2026 goDMV competition is easy! You just log into your account, tap the Log Trip button, and then tap the Log Telework button (under the Start Trip button). You can also log telework trips in the Commute Log in your Commuter Connections account if you prefer.

Logging your telework commutes will automatically award you 2 goDMV points for the day, and you’ll be able to use CommuterCash to log up to 4 other non-commute trips to help you reach your goDMV maximum of 6 points per day.

While you earn goDMV leaderboard points for logging telework activity, you will not receive CommuterCash points in your personal balance on days you log telework trips. Once you log a telework commute, you will also not be able to use the online calendar to log any other trips that day.

Scooter trips may be logged as bike trips!

Slug trips may be logged as carpool trips!

Work and Home are pre-programmed destination buttons in your Log Trip screen (based on the information on your account). To log trips to other destinations:

1. Tap the Enter New Address button
2. Add the address details
3. Tap the Add Address button OR if this is a frequent destination, tap the “Save this address to my account” button to create a new button in your log trip screen (you can delete it if you no longer need it).
4. Select the Start Trip button to start logging your trip! The trip should automatically end once you’ve reached your destination.

At this time, CommuterCash is only able to store one work location, based on what is in your account (denoted by the Work button with a building icon).

If you work at multiple locations, you may want to designate your most frequent destination in your account as the Work button, but you can program in additional buttons or manually type in your other work address on the days you commute to those locations. You’ll still earn goDMV points for logging trips to alternate work sites (1 point per trip), but only trips that start and end at the registered work address on your account will be eligible to earn CommuterCash points.

No problem! If you forgot or couldn’t log a trip with the CommuterCash app, use the online calendar to log those missed trips.

• Log in to your Commuter Connections account.
• Click Commute Log from the menu (the first time you do this, you’ll set up a typical commute profile).
• Select the calendar days to add your missed trips. You can backlog missed trips up to 10 days from today.

Important notes about logging trips in the calendar!

• Trips logged in the online calendar WILL add points to your goDMV leaderboard totals and help you meet eligibility criteria for the mini-challenge and post-competition prize drawings.
• Trips logged in the online calendar do not contribute points towards your personal CommuterCash rewards balance.
• You may also only log two trips per day in the online calendar, including telework commutes, so to reach the maximum of six trips a day, you’ll have to use CommuterCash for the other four trips.

You’ll see the Commuter Leaderboard appear in your app or online account after you have registered for goDMV. Every time you log a trip during goDMV (up to six trips per day, seven days per week), you’ll see your points added to your spot on the leaderboard. You’ll also see your rank if you’re not in the top 10, and you can choose to display your name (first name, last initial) or remain anonymous to your competitors.

We’ll notify all recipients of bonus CommuterCash points and raffle prize drawings by email, so be on the lookout a few days after April 1, April 15, April 22, April 30, and May 15 to see if you’ve won!

Recipients of bonus CommuterCash points will also receive badges in the app and see the bonus points added to their CommuterCash rewards balance.

CommuterCash will remain available to commuters across the DC metro region and throughout Maryland after the goDMV Commuter Competition ends, offering you continued opportunities to keep earning rewards for logging your sustainable commute trips to work!
