RIKI'S FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When I was first faced with the task of creating a frequently asked questions section for this webpage, I must admit to reveling in delusions of grandeur. These thoughts only lasted a second or two, but it was long enough to imagine a world filled with Riki Rules! tee-shirts and boundless fansites in my honor. Then I remembered the reason I was here: to keep you up-to-date on all the important transportation information available out there. That said, below is a list of questions that I'm most often asked and those that I think deserve reiteration.

1. Who is Riki Rideshare? It's the question on everyone's lips. Costume malfunctions are a thing of the past and word on the street is all about the mysterious Riki Rideshare. (I warned all of you about those delusions of grandeur!). Riki Rideshare is everyone's favorite source for information on ridesharing and all those other sometimes-complicated, sometimes-unknown transportation options available to fellow South Jerseyans.

3. How can I contact Riki Rideshare?

There are three ways to track me down at any given moment.

Carpooling / Vanpooling

1. Why should I carpool if I have my own car?

With costs of gas so high, carpooling is a great way to reduce your automotive costs. Not to mention, three passengers in your car means three less vehicles congesting the roads and causing you delay. Think of all the time and money you'll save while fighting pollution!

2. How does Carpooling Makes Sense Program work?

This new incentive program is open to all New Jersey residents who establish a new carpool. Each new carpool of two or more commuters will receive one $100 gas card after the two months of activity. And just so we’re clear…that’s one gas card per carpool, not person. Still plenty of free gas to get you to and from work. Of course, like every program, there are certain guidelines that must be met – you must carpool to work at least 24 days in a two-month period and there are tracking forms and a registration application to be completed – but have no fears, my friend. The required paper work is easy to navigate, and if you do have any questions, our office is here to help you.So go to Carpooling Makes Sense Program page and follow the instructions from there.

Forming a vanpool is highly beneficial if you are traveling from a distance of fifteen miles or more each way and have enough people to share the cost. It's a fairly simple process which can be made even simpler by using Cross County Connection's free services. First step - check with your employer to see if a vanpool is already established. If not, contact our office and a member of our staff will help you: find additional people traveling to the same destination or along the same route, where to obtain the vehicle, and apply for the NJ Vanpool Sponsorship Program which provides $ 150 per month to those vanpools approved by NJ Transit. By establishing a vanpool today, you not only lessen the high costs of your insurance and gas, but also reduce your stress levels. Contact our office and you're on the way to a healthier lifestyle without even hitting the gym.
