LA County Rideshare Lottery Winners Please Register

The Green@Work Committee announced that all registrants WHO QUALIFY were awarded a subsidy because we received less than 1000 entries.  A lottery was not necessary.

UPDATE:
The people on this list still need to register. You must register by April 10, 2015 in order to qualify for a monthly pass for a monthly pass on Foothill transit, Metro, or Metrolink. Go to this link.

This is a preliminary list of winners.  If anyone on this list already receives discounted fares as a senior, student, or individual with disability, you are NOT eligible.

In addition, if you work at Civic Center or vanpool, you already receive subsidies and are therefore not eligible.

Please contact  lisa.cody@seiu721.org if you appear on this list,  but already receive a discount or subsidy, as you do not qualify.

Winners on the list that meet all requirements MUST register for the Commuter Benefit Plan administered through WageWorks before April 10, 2015 and must purchases monthly passes for the duration of the program for any of the following: Metrolink, Metro Rail and/or Bus, and Foothill Transit.

Winners will receive a $70 subsidy per month for 11 months and a $46.32 subsidy for one more month.  Subsidies will begin in June 2015 and last until May 2016 as long as you continue to purchase monthly passes via the Commuter Benefit Plan and as long as you remain eligible.

Please attend the Rideshare Subsidy Information Event on Tuesday, March 3rd, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Auditorium at SEIU Local 721.  The address is 1545 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA.  Attending this event is not required in order to receive the subsidy.

We will have an informational session regarding the rules and requirements of the program, the benefits, and an administrator from the County will discuss how to enroll in the Commuter Benefit Plan.

If you cannot attend, County of Los Angeles employees may enroll in CBP anytime throughout the year at www.myFBMC.com.  You may enroll online or by calling 1-800-342-8017.
