Carpooling with just one person can save you hundreds of dollars per year. GoOrca is a free online platform and community that connects our staff with potential commuting buddies, with a principle emphasis on carpooling. It is no doubt the best way to get involved in a carpool and begin transforming your commute.
All our staff, regardless of work location, can get a personal account for Modo the Car Co-op and access both the vehicles parked at City Hall and Modo’s entire network throughout the region for personal use.
Sign up for your own personal Modo membership today and get round-the-clock access to their fleet while enjoying free gas, toll bridges, insurance, cleaning, maintenance, roadside assistance, and parking in designated areas.
There are two membership types to choose from:
If you are already a City Car Share member, simply email info@modo.coop with your current driver number and tell them you want to open your own Modo membership - they'll take care of the rest.
Information icon If you plan to sign up for both a work and a personal account, you'll only have to go through the driver's check and orientation process once.
Information icon Ensure that you do not mix up your account numbers when booking. Your personal account will start with "CVP" while your work account will start with "CC".
All Regular Full-Time (RFT), Temporary Full-Time (TFT), and Regular Part-Time (RPT) staff who use transit to commute to and from work are eligible for a 20% discount on your transit pass. Auxiliary employees are not eligible for these as they are paid an additional percentage in lieu of all employment benefits.
Complete the form to sign up for an ongoing payroll deduction and the pass will be loaded onto your Compass Card. You can use the same form to change or cancel the payroll deduction. Submit the form by the 10th of the month to take effect the following month (e.g. May 10 for June).
You can also email the Sustainable Commuting Program at commuting@vancouver.ca with questions.
Cycling
Cycling to work is a great way to commute sustainably and get a workout. Eligible staff can get a bike tune-up rebate or sign up for a Mobi membership rebate.
The Sustainable Commuting Program offers a 50% rebate on bike tune-up or parts purchases, up to $50 annually. Eligible employees (RFT, TFT, and RPT staff) can get reimbursement for their bike work by filling out this form and including an attached copy of your receipt.
Email the Sustainable Commuting Program at commuting@vancouver.ca for more information including parking your bike at work and helpful tips.
RFT, TFT, and RPT employees can collect active commuting points when they bike or walk to work. These reward points can then be cashed in for e-gift cards to great local businesses.
How it works
Staff can earn active commuting points and rewards by logging their walking and cycling trips. Here’s how:
Drag and drop the walking or cycling icons based on your commute and place it on the appropriate calendar day. You will earn points for each trip logged. Although you are welcome to log other modes of commuting, only walking and cycling will earn you rewards.
Once you reach the 250 and 500 point thresholds, you will be eligible to redeem your points for rewards.
Information icon Your exact address will not be shared with others and your 'start' zone will be indicated as a general area on GoOrca.
Information icon Active commuting points reward active behaviours, and although we certainly commend staff who take transit or carpool to work, these are primarily sedentary activities that do not earn points or rewards as part of this program.
