KYLE, Texas – Commuters in Kyle and Buda now have a new option to get to Austin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We Ride I-35 carpool program <\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO)<\/a> launched “We Ride I-35.” It’s a carpool program to make it easier for Kyle and Buda commuters to share the ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n The program is in partnership with CTXGO<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n How does it work? <\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n Participants can choose to drive, ride, or alternate between the two. This makes it easier to share commuting costs and reduces the stress of traveling to and from Austin.\u00a0<\/p>\n Once matched, participants can coordinate amongst themselves on times and places to meet and share the drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Guaranteed Ride Home feature in the CTXGO app provides eligible carpoolers a free ride home when an unexpected situation happens.<\/p>\n Participants may also be eligible to earn $5 per day, up to $150, by logging carpool trips in CTXGO Commute Rewards.<\/p>\n Commuters can sign up for We Ride I-35<\/a> by completing an interest form with information about their schedule, destination, preferred meet-up location and driving preferences.<\/p>\n CAMPO will handle the matching process to connect participants with other commuters traveling from the same area with similar schedules and destinations.<\/p>\n To sign up for the program, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Source: Information from a CAMPO press release on Oct. 28<\/p>\n Transportation<\/a>Kyle<\/a>Buda<\/a>Austin<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KYLE, Texas – Commuters in Kyle and Buda now have a new option to get to Austin.\u00a0 We…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,18789,2427,13982,223,840,394,216,393],"class_list":["post-479898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-buda","tag-hays-county","tag-kyle","tag-news","tag-transportation","tag-travis-county","tag-tx","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
