Coffee for carpoolers to help improve travel on State Hwy 119 between Longmont and Boulder

Longmont, Colo. – For the month of March, the ‘Diagonal Shift’ will be rewarding carpoolers who carpool at least four times during the month – about once a week – with two free coffees at either Ziggi’s Coffee House or Brewing Market (a $10 gift card). The program applies to people who travel along State Highway 119 through Longmont or along the Diagonal between Boulder and Longmont.

Those who carpool and send a picture of their carpool group from each day they carpool will be entered into a drawing for each member of the carpool to win free coffee for the month of April (up to a $50 value).

“We hope this incentive program will encourage people to try carpooling once a week in March and see if it works for them even after they have received their free coffee,” said Hannah Polow, Multimodal Transportation Planner, Boulder County Transportation Department. “The long term incentives of carpooling include gas savings, less wear and tear on an individual’s own vehicle, and a whole host of other benefits that trump driving alone.”

Follow these steps to enter the challenge:

1.       Register at www.diagonalshift.com by March 8

2.       Each week, fill out a survey via email

3.       Send your carpool pictures to shift@bouldercounty.org if you want to participate in the free coffee for a month challenge.

4.       Carpool must include at least one other person.
