What is rideshare week

Employers will receive one Diamond Award point for registering for Rideshare and additional points for other eligible activities. The San Diego region celebrated Rideshare Week with 59 registered employers, encouraging thousands of employees to try ridesharing by choosing to carpool, vanpool, or take transit to work.

Clean Air Day was added to the Fall campaign, as some local employers were not back in the office yet, they are still working from home or have a hybrid working schedule. Thank you to the 80 employers who pledged their organizations for Clean Air Day!

Save yourself. Studies show that fighting traffic wears you down. When you carpool, other people in the car help diffuse the stress.
