“Pardner Up” for Rideshare Month this October with Pierce Trips

Pierce Trips is proud to present Rideshare Month, Oct. 1-31. This year’s theme, “Pardner Up,” encourages folks to replace drive-alone trips with rideshare trips.

What is ridesharing? It can be carpooling, vanpooling, taking the bus, light rail, or train.

Here are some resources to get you started:

  • Carpool – Share the ride to a restaurant, show, or other outing.
  • Vanpool – Commute to work once a week, or every day with your coworkers.
  • Bus – Leave your parking woes behind and hop on the bus.
  • Light Rail – Walk, bus, bike or drive part way and catch the T Line through Tacoma.
  • Sounder Train – Hop on the train to the next Seahawks game, show or other outing.

Share the ride 10 times during October – that’s five roundtrips – and log your trips on the Pierce Trips calendar at PierceTrips.com to be automatically entered to win one of these great prizes: 

  • Three $50 gift codes
  • Five $20 gift codes
  • 25 $10 gift codes

Looking for additional ways to win? Share your rideshare selfie or a photo of what you enjoy from your rideshare trips on Facebook and Twitter with the tags #PardnerUp and @PierceTrips to enter to win a $5 gift code.

About Pierce Trips
