Can paying people not to drive reduce traffic? Well, theCity of Santa Monicaand Metro have teamed up to test this idea with the One Car Challenge pilot, where they will pay 200 residents to give one of their household cars a staycation for 5 weeks. By taking the “one-car household” lifestyle for a spin, they can make up to $599 for participating while also receiving free rides on various modes of transport to help with their transition.
Do you live in Santa Monica? Are you up for the challenge?
Here are some of the details:
The first 200 participating households will receive:
Up to $119.80 each week for five weeks (up to $599 total per household)
A free TAP card with $50 of Stored Value
Metro Bike Share: 5-10 free rides per household
Participants must live in Santa Monica, have 2 or more cars per household, and be at least 21 years of age. The pilot will start in early November. If the project is successful, we’re hoping to roll it out to other areas of Los Angeles. Stay tuned for updates.
