Don't Panic!
Commuters
whose employers are
TMA members
have an
Emergency Ride Home
if they don't drive alone to work but need a ride because of a personal
or family emergency. If your employer is a member of the Sacramento TMA, when you register in Commuter Club, you'll see Emergency Ride Home on the left-side of the screen. If you don't drive alone to work, and you or a family member are sick or have an emergency and you're stranded at work without a car; clicking that Emergency Ride Home button in Commuter Club will lead you to a Voucher that pays your taxi or rentacar to get home. To be covered by our Emergency Ride Home program, email the Sacramento TMA and ask for membership information to give your employer. Use Commuter Club to find a carpool! When you log in, you'll be asked to confirm all your information and if something is missing, to supply that. As more people in Commuter Club do this, if you ask to see possible carpool partners, you'll get a current matchlist of people that live and work near you. (No personal information is released.)
Then keep checking back because as more and more people update their
information, the carpool matches will get
better.
Find a Carpool Match
Commuter Club now has a Ride Match Tool to help you find someone to
carpool with! To use the tool, log in to Commuter Club, or register as
a New User, at left. Then agree to be part of the ride match
program. Those who agree will show up when someone who works near where
they work, and lives near them, looks for a carpool match. (When you're
on a list, your name and identifying information are not revealed.)
You can also edit your Profile in Commuter Club to include a note that
others can see. For example, you may want to Drive Only, or Ride Only,
or maybe type of music or non-smoking is important. And you can modify
where you match from, if you prefer to meet somewhere other than your
home, a park-and-ride lot, for example. We want to buy you Lunch!
Transit will be the Mode of the Month in February.
Commuter Club assigns every trip a number and at the end of the month,
the TMA will randomly select four carpool trips. If one of those trips
is yours, you'll select a lunch from one of several fine restaurants and
Edible Pedal will deliver it by bicycle.
Every Trip Counts
because every trip is a chance
to win.
Now is a great time to use the new Ridematch tool to find someone who
lives and works near you and start carpooling so in March you can log
carpool commute trips in
the Commute Diary. (Carpooling is the Mode of the Month in March.)

Urban Cycling Skills class - We have condensed the class into a one-day session - 9 a.m. to 3p.m., Saturday,
January 21st..
The course includes a student manual and is Free! For a
registration form, email
sactma@surewest.net Bicycling is more fun when you ride with skill and confidence, and
most of safe riding in traffic is having the knowledge to ride
predictably and to be visible to motorists. Develop that self-confidence with this fast-paced, course
which prepares cyclists to be comfortable riding on the street, blending
smoothly into the flow of traffic. Students gain understanding of lane positioning and develop the
skills to avoid crashes. The bicycle education class is given by
instructors certified by the League of American Bicyclists. For class info,
visit
www.smart-cycling.org.
