GO Santa Cruz is expanding countywide! GO Santa Cruz County rewards Santa Cruz County commuters with incentives to rethink their ride and choose a more earth-friendly commute. Alternative transportation miles are earned when you opt to walk, bike, carpool or ride the bus to work (skateboards and Onewheels are welcome too!).
Both employees and employers are invited to participate in a series of free educational workshops on green transportation. The informative sessions will be offered online and in-person (once safe to do so) and will focus on various topics including urban cycling, eBikes, bike commuting basics and more.
How it Works
GO Santa Cruz County features an online commute management tool available to all employees who live or work in Santa Cruz County. Community members can register by visiting https://my.cruz511.org and joining the GO Santa Cruz County network.
Work in downtown Santa Cruz? Downtown Santa Cruz employees are eligible for additional benefits including free bus passes, bike locker cards and downtown dollars. Learn more about the GO Santa Cruz Downtown program.
Go Santa Cruz County is a key part of the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission’s ongoing effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and play an active role in addressing climate change. GO Santa Cruz County is partially funded by voter-approved Measure D, which provides a balanced vision to improve, operate and maintain Santa Cruz County’s transportation network.
