Marin Transit and TAM partner with Uber to launch integrated on-demand Connect2Transit Program
TAM, Marin Transit and Uber launched a new program, Connect2Transit, the next phase of TAM’s first/last mile program and the expansion of Marin Transit Connect, Marin Transit’s fully accessible, on-demand service. Beginning July 1, 2020, people in Marin County will have access to a range of new on-demand services. Uber users will now see shared ride transit options and will have access to vouchers for up-to $5 off shared-ride trips to and from Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) stations in Marin County, major bus stops, and the Larkspur Ferry Terminal.
View the Connect2Transit website with details including the service area and download the voucher to receive discounts when you connect to transit.
The program is designed to support transit ridership and encourage shared mobility options that reduce congestion and pollution. UberPool is an affordable option that matches passengers taking a similar route. The technology provides an effective, real-time way to encourage and enable carpooling for first and last-mile access to trips to and from Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) stations in Marin County, major bus stops, and the Larkspur Ferry Terminal.
How the Connect2Transit Voucher Works
To receive the up-to $5 incentive, participants must:
- Download the Uber app and register for an account.
- Download the Voucher to receive up to $5 off shared-ride trips to and from Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) stations in Marin County, major bus stops, and the Larkspur Ferry Terminal.
- Begin or end the ride in the service area Monday through Friday.
- Passenger must pay for the first $4 of their ride, and TAM will cover up to the next $5.
