Commuter assistance, or programs to reduce the number of drive-alone travelers on our roadways, is a mandated part of Measure A.

Recognizing the value of providing additional alternatives to driving alone, RCTC offers a comprehensive commuter assistance program that meets the needs of local employers and commuters and supports other RCTC services including commuter rail and public transit.

Local employers benefit from having a low cost tax free benefit they can offer employees. Large companies who must meet air quality mandates can take advantage of programs that help them fulfill their requirements.

Commuters can receive incentives to try ridesharing - everything from carpools and vanpools, to taking Metrolink or riding the bus. There are extensive services that support these programs from ridematching services, to detailed information on carpool lanes, Park and Ride lots leased by RCTC, and preferred parking at Metrolink stations for those who share the ride to the train.
