Highway Administration (FHWA) to assist in special efforts to promote commuting,
which conserves energy, improves air quality and reduces congestion.

sharing purposes.

program. These activities are described in the MPOs Unified Planning Work Program.
Eligible activities include, but are not limited to:
Establishing a toll-free telephone number for people to call for Rideshare Program

Participating in community events to promote ridesharing and vanpooling;
Offering media presentations such as TV, radio and newspaper advertising; and
Maintaining a database of the names and addresses of potential rideshare customers.
