Do you often drive solo for your work commute, errands, or social outings? What if we told you there are better ways to get around—ways that save you money, reduce stress, and help the environment all at once? Enter the Washington State Ridesharing Organization’s (WSRO) latest initiative, Switch Your Trips

What’s Switch Your Trips all about?

Switch Your Trips encourages you to try sustainable ways to get around, like biking, carpooling, taking transit, or walking to your destination. By doing so, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win fantastic prizes, including a $1,500 cash prize, a Rad Power Bikes e-bike, a Rick Steve’s backpack, and more!

How to get started

The key is to switch to sustainable travel options this October—whether it's public transit, ridesharing (like Zip Alderwood Shuttle), micromobility, walking, or rolling. Log your qualifying trips on RideshareOnline.com. Complete at least ten trips, and you’ll be automatically entered into the prize drawing. It’s that simple!

Need ideas for switching?

Not sure how to make the switch? No worries, we’ve got you:

  • Take transit: Taking transit in Snohomish County and beyond has never been easier with expanded local service and new connections to Link light rail. Grab a window seat on the bus or train and watch the world go by.
  • Bike or walk: Perfect for those shorter trips. Get some fresh air, clear your mind, and get some steps in – win, win, win.
  • Carpool with coworkers: Split the driving and the cost while catching up on all the office talk (or discussing your favorite shows!).

Ready to Switch Your Trips?

If you're tired of the same old commute or want to try public transit for the first time, Switch Your Trips is your opportunity. Give it a shot and see just how easy it is to say goodbye to solo driving, and hello to a better way of getting around the Puget Sound!

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to SwitchYourTrips.com for all the details on the challenge, including official rules and a complete list of prizes.
