36 Commuter CASH is an innovative approach to combat traffic congestion on U.S. 36.  Jointly funded by 36 Commuting Solutions and a federal grant, the program pays U.S. 36 commuters who currently drive solo to work when they choose to "make the switch" and bicycle, carpool, ride transit, vanpool, telework or walk.  Participants can earn $2/day, as much as $120 in a 90-day pledge period.   

Please note: 36 Commuting Solutions is no longer accepting applications to the 36 Commuter CASH program.  Thank you for your interest.

Program benefits:  Since the program began July 2008, it has accrued significant benefits in reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality.  Thank you to all our participants for your efforts and dedication to using a clean commute alternative!
