To celebrate the new HOV lanes, Marin Commutes, in collaboration with Go Sonoma Commutes, is kicking off the HOV Diamond Dozen Challenge, our longest seasonal challenge to date! For all of Transit Month (September) and Rideshare Month (October) you’ll be able to rack up brand new rewards while discovering the benefits of commuting together!
With the upcoming completion of the Marin Sonoma Narrows Project targeted for September and 52 miles of continuous High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on Highway 101 connecting Marin and Sonoma, it will be easier than ever to share the ride and cruise through traffic by taking transit, carpool, or vanpool.
Monthly Prizes
12 is the magic number! For each month that you log at least 12 eligible shared trips, you’ll be entered to win a $100 gift card!
Transit Month (Sept 1 – 31)
Your mission is simple: Log 12 transit trips and be entered to win one of six $100 gift cards. Whether you’re riding the bus, hopping on a ferry, or taking the train, every transit trip you log brings you closer to your diamond dozen!
Rideshare Month (Oct 1 – 31)
All shared trips count! Log any combination of 12 transit, carpool, or vanpool trips and get another shot at winning one of six $100 gift cards!
Share the Ride, Share Your Story!
Whether you’re riding the bus, train, ferry or rolling in the carpool lane, we want to see how you’re making the most of shared transportation or enjoying the new HOV lanes!

October: Post about your carpool or vanpool trips
