You have the opportunity to help Tysons employees improve their commutes by letting them know about Nuride. This free online service offers rewards for taking public transportation, telecommuting, carpooling, vanpooling, walking or biking. As part of the initial promotion, 1,000 points will be awarded to everyone using the PROMO CODE: MEGAEST. Tysons commuters sign up at www.gotysons.org/nuride and earn points for each car-free trip they record on the web site. Points can then be redeemed for coupons, discounts and special offers from nearly 50 local restaurants and retailers. There are weekly drawings to win $100 in free groceries from SHOPPERS. Click here for a draft e-mail to send to all individuals at your organization. Employers who get the most employees each month to join Nuride will earn 1,000 bonus pints for every NuRider during the month. Buildings with the highest participation will be recognized by VDOT through various communication channels.
