The S.T.A.R. Carpool program (Simply Take Along a Rider) , is designed to take the hassle out of your commute. We can save you time, money and stress!
Advantages to participating in S.T.A.R. Carpool include: 
- Rideshare: We provide an easy way to find others who are interested in sharing your commute.
- Use of High Occupancy Vehicle lanes (HOV): Leave single-occupancy vehicles far behind and reduce your commute time significantly.
- Premium space in participating S.T.A.R. garages: The best spaces, right beside the entry/exit are reserved for S.T.A.R. users until 9:30 am each weekday. Be on the freeway before level Z parkers have even left the garage.
- Home Free Guarantee: Concerned about what to do in an emergency or if you work late and cannot catch your carpool ride? We've added this benefit to the S.T.A.R. program—each rider in the carpool is entitled to a FREE cab ride home up to 8 times a year. Each cab ride can be up to 60 miles each way.
- Flexcar: Need to run errands or attend outside meetings during the day? We sign you and your carpool riders up for Flexcar for one year free. All S.T.A.R. garages have Flexcar onsite and we give each rider a monthly usage credit of $20 per month.
- Commuter Bonus Dollars: After 3 months, your carpool earns $50 commuter bonus dollars, after 6 months, you earn an additional $100. If you sign someone else up for your carpool or refer a friend, you earn another $50 commuter bonus dollars. You can spend the money on many commuting-related items, including gas.
Money talks!
It's hard to argue with the savings! Here’s what a typical carpool participant can hope to gain in their first year participating in S.T.A.R. Carpool.
