Press Release - R-TRIP is Now Go Redmond

R-TRIP is Now Go Redmond

Effective Immediately
September 1, 2015

Redmond, WA – The Redmond Trip Resource and Incentive Program (R-TRIP) is now Go Redmond. The mission to reduce drive-alone trips will continue at Go Redmond, but on the regional online platform at Rideshare Online. 

People who live or work in Redmond can sign up for the program and earn rewards when they carpool, take the bus, vanpool, bike, walk, or telecommute instead of drive alone. Users will be able to see how much money they save and how their travel choices impact the environment.

The transition allows Go Redmond participants to use one registration to take part in regional promotions from King County Metro, the State of Washington, and other partners.

With the upcoming tolls on I-405, drivers may be interested in the online carpool and vanpool matching available at GoRedmond.com.  By setting up a profile, users can be matched with others who are traveling at the same time and direction to share the ride for their commute.

Go Redmond also offers a free one month ORCA bus pass for new transit users and fare subsidies for new vanpool users.

Redmond businesses have access to free resources from Go Redmond to improve transportation access to their worksite.  Go Redmond staff can help navigate state and local commute trip reduction laws, provide grant funding, and consult on other enhancements to their program.

Since 2008, the R-TRIP program has reduced 4.4 million drive alone trips and users have reduced 114 million pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere.
