Note: 5 Free Ride offer is for a new vanpool rider who has not ridden Spokane Transit (STA) vanpool in the previous 12 months. If you complete the 5 free rides and decide to join the vanpool, your monthly fare will be prorated by the vanpool group bookkeeper.

NEW RIDERS - Earn up to $50 in incentives by joining a vanpool

New riders are defined as those who haven’t ridden in an STA vanpool in the last 12 months and have filled out a Vanpool Participant Agreement.
To start earning your incentives, complete a Vantastic Participants Agreement form and submit to Spokane Transit.
New riders must pay their first month’s fare. After that, non-subsidized riders will receive a one time $50 fare credit from STA as a discount on the next month’s vanpool fare. (Certificate will be emailed to you, to give to your vanpool bookkeeper). Subsidized employees will receive $50 gift cards.
Riders must log their trips on MyCommute.org to be eligible*.

RECRUITERS - Earn a $25 incentive to get friends & coworkers on a vanpool

New rider must complete recruiter information on the Vanpool Participant Agreement. 
Recruiters may choose either a $25 gift card or $25 off their next month's fare.

CURRENT RIDERS - Ride more, win more!

Vanpools that achieve 60% ridership during the month of June will be entered into a raffle to win a $25 Amazon gift card for all active riders in their group.
Ridership is calculated based on the number of days/month the van is used, number of riders each day, and the van capacity.
For a lot of vanpools, reaching 60% would only require each person on the van to ride one more day!
Already operating using your van to it's maximum capacity? Then you're already in it to win it!
