In all, nearly 1,200 commuters participated in the Extreme Makeover: Employee Assistance Edition promotion. Some of these commuters were already ridesharing and others gave it a try for the first time. We're certain that we "converted" a large number of solo-commuters to ridesharing. In fact, we placed 212 former drive alones on Metrolink trains and 14 on OCTA busses during the four months of the promotion. Not to mention all the commuters who used the carpool matchlists they received to find a new or additional carpool partner.
Congratulations to all participants for exploring alternatives to driving alone. Thank you to all employers that invited Spectrumotion on-site to distribute rideshare information.
