Ventura county countywide rideshare program to reduce congestion, increase mobility, and improve air quality through programs targeted at reducing SI

This $219,998.95 federal Formula Grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction Program (CFDA 20.205) provides funding for the Ventura County Countywide Rideshare Program. The program aims to reduce congestion, increase mobility, and improve air quality by targeting a reduction in single-occupant vehicle trips as required by the Congestion Management Program. Key components of the program include outreach, management of a rideshare matching database, a guaranteed ride service, and monitoring of the CalVans vanpool program. The prime awardee is the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and a sub-award of an unspecified amount was made to the Ventura County Transportation Commission to support the implementation of these transportation demand management initiatives across Ventura County.
