GoCommute

Your smarter commute could be earning you gift cards to your favorite stores. Here's how ⤵️

🟢 Create an account with ConnectingVA. It's the state's program designed to help you get matched with a carpool, find transit routes, and keep track of how not driving alone is positively impacting your wallet.
🟢 Log your smarter commute trips. Whether you download the app or log your trips on the website, every time you carpool, vanpool, take transit, bike/walk, or even telework earns you points.
🟢 Redeem your points for gift card drawings. There's drawings for $25, $50, and $100 gift cards, each redeemable for a different point amount. Drawings are held once a month, and winners are completely random!
🟢 Choose your gift cards. If you win, you can browse hundreds of retailers for gift cards of different amounts. You don't have to use your gift card amount all at one place, either!

Connected commutes can only happen when communities are connected. 🗺️

Historically, downtown areas were bulldozed to make way for the interstate highway system (thanks, Robert Moses 😒). This helped newly-formed suburbanites get to and from work in cities without needing to navigate the downtown area.

Long-story short: Communities got dissected.

Norfolk is studying ways to fix that. Phase 1 of the Reconnecting Communities study is wrapping up, but commuters and residents in the Downtown Norfolk area can provide feedback on ways Downtown Norfolk could connect with Harbor Park and Norfolk State University. 🚴
