Commuter Connections provides complimentary information on a host of commuter programs to assist in determining which commuting option works best for you.
The Ridesharing Program allows you to find out about others who live and work near you, have similar work schedules, and are interested in carpooling and/or vanpooling to and from work. Commuter Connections’ state-of-the-art ridesharing technology allows you to view an interactive and comprehensive list of all potential ridesharing partners in your area. Over 20,000 commuters rely on Commuter Connections to provide free up-to-the-minute ridesharing information at no cost.
Signing up for Ridesharing also allows you to use your account to pinpoint the closest transit stop to your home and work, closest park and ride lot, and closest telework center. Telework, bicycling, and walking information is also available through the Commuter Connections web site.
If you carpool, vanpool, use public transportation, or bicycle or walk to work two or more days a week, Commuter Connections will get you home in the event of an emergency as part of the Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program. GRH allows you peace of mind and is regarded as an “insurance policy” in the event you experience an unexpected personal or family emergency or unscheduled overtime. Some restrictions apply, so be sure to read through the GRH program participation guidelines.
Commuter Connections maintains a strict privacy policy. All personal information provided to Commuter Connections will remain confidential. Commuter Connections will never share or sell your information to outside organizations or companies.

Stuck At Work? Take A Free Ride Home
Guaranteed Ride Home (otherwise known as GRH) provides commuters who regularly (twice a week) carpool, vanpool, bike, walk or take transit to work with a FREE and reliable ride home when one of life’s unexpected emergencies arise.
Commuters may take advantage of GRH up to six times per year to get home for unexpected emergencies such as a personal illness or a sick child. GRH can also be used for unscheduled overtime when your employer mandates that you must stay late.

goDMV Commuter Competition 2025
What is the goDMV Commuter Competition?
The goDMV Commuter Competition is a friendly challenge among District, Maryland, and Virginia employers to promote sustainable commuting amongst employees. The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ Commuter Connections program, along with the help of goDCgo, DDOT, MDOT, and VDOT, are hosting this first-ever regional challenge.
During the challenge, commuters track their sustainable commutes and non-commute trips to win prizes and other incentives as they climb the leaderboard. Best of all, it’s free to participate, and even those unaffiliated with a participating employer can join and win prizes!
The competition starts on March 3 and goes through May 31, 2025.
Great! How can my organization get involved?
Register your organization for the challenge.
We will do almost everything for you! To make the process as easy as possible, our team will get you set up on the trip-logging platform, assist you with encouraging employee participation, and support you along the way. We’ll give you a checklist that walks you through your responsibilities and important dates throughout the competition.
As a participating employer, you’ll need to:
- Register for our onboarding webinar scheduled for February 12 at 11am

We will provide graphics, text for newsletters and social media, and flyers – all you have to do is share and spread the word. If you’d like our partner promotional packet, reach out to us.
We welcome residents, business owners, elected officials, and others to post about the competition on their social media accounts to share the excitement with others.
