Could You Be the Next Member of the goCo Crew? Here’s 8 Reasons to Join
Let’s face it - the Hampton Roads commute isn’t exactly known for being a stress-free experience. Whether you’re navigating the I-64 squeeze or dodging tunnel traffic like a real-life game of Mario Kart, we see you. That’s where goCommute (aka goCo to our friends) comes in.
If you’re new around here, goCo is the region’s ultimate go to for commuter solutions that save time, cash and stress, all while keeping your air a little cleaner and your sanity intact. And joining the goCo Crew? It’s like grabbing a last-minute speed boost and dodging a blue shell... Total commute win.
Here are 8 reasons why you should absolutely be part of this movement:
1. We Make Commuting Less of a Headache (Really)
Our whole job is to make your commute smoother, smarter and sometimes even... enjoyable. Whether you’re into ridesharing, vanpooling, biking, or even teleworking, we’ve got personalized commuter resources to help you ditch the single-occupancy grind and try something that actually works for your life.
2. You Can Earn Rewards Just for Showing Up
Yep. You read that right. Log your alternative commutes in our app and earn commuter rewards for being awesome. Think discounts, gift cards and giveaways - just for getting to work in a smarter way (Your daily drive can’t compete with that!).
3. We Give You Peace of Mind with ConnectingVA Ride Home Rewards
We get it - trying something new can feel risky. That’s why goCommute has partnered with DRPT to bring you the ConnectingVA Ride Home Rewards program. Not feeling well? Need to leave early for a family emergency? This program's got your back with a FREE guaranteed ride home when things don’t go as planned.
4. It’s Good for the Air - and Your Brain!
Okay, we promised we wouldn't get too crunchy, but real talk: fewer cars on the road means cleaner air and less traffic congestion for all of us. That’s good news whether you're worried about air quality or just want your morning coffee to stay in your cup during that stop-and-go mess on I-264.
5. You’ll Save Some Serious Cash
Gas prices got you in your budgeting era? The goCo crew is here for it. Switching to rideshare, vanpooling or even biking can cut your commuting costs in half (or more). Parking fees? Nope. Mileage wear-and-tear? Not your problem. That’s money back in your pocket for, you know, literally anything else.
6. Meet Cool People (No, Really)
You don’t have to be besties with your carpool crew - but sharing the ride with people who get it? That’s a game-changer. Being part of the goCo Crew connects you with others who are commuting smarter, not harder.
7. We’re Not Here to Judge Your Commute Vibes
Want to bike in full-on Tour de France mode? We love that. Prefer to nap in your vanpool? Go for it. Just want a peaceful ride by yourself every now and then? No shame.
We’re here to help you mix and match the right commuter solutions for your lifestyle - no crunchy lectures, no “you must go green or else” guilt trips.
8. It’s Free to Join. And Kinda Fun.
There’s no membership fee. No secret handshake (although we’re open to suggestions). Just good vibes, practical perks and a community of smart commuters trying to do things a little differently. Sign up, explore your options and let goCo help you actually look forward to your weekday routine.
