Commuter Connections is the regional commuter-assistance program operated by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG), serving commuters across the Washington, DC metropolitan area that includes Maryland, the District of Columbia, and northern and central Virginia. It runs free rideshare-matching, carpool and vanpool incentives, a Guaranteed Ride Home program, and commuter competitions designed to reduce single-occupant driving and peak-period congestion.
Through its commuterconnections.org platform and a 1-800-745-RIDE help line, the program helps travelers find carpool partners, plan multimodal trips, and earn rewards for sustainable commuting. In 2025 it launched CommuterCash, a mobile app that replaced the earlier incenTrip rewards program, migrating existing accounts and points balances into the new system.
