EXPRESS CARPOOL CHECK PILOT PROGRAM

Smartphone App Pilot

The Express Carpool Check pilot program is testing a new smartphone app –
RideFlag – to see how well the app works to verify carpools in an MTC Express
Lane.


Testers Needed: Earn Up to $300 (link is external)

Test the new smartphone app – RideFlag – to see how well the app works to verify
carpools in an MTC Express Lane.

Sign up now.

MTC Express Lanes help speed traffic and reduce congestion – but only when the
lanes are used by qualified vehicles. Many qualified vehicles are carpools with
multiple passengers. (Other vehicles may have a Clean Air Vehicle sticker, or a
solo driver may choose to pay the Express Lane toll.)

MTC is seeking drivers to volunteer as participants in the Express Carpool Check
pilot program. The Express Carpool Check provided by RideFlag app lets drivers
show how many people are in the vehicle. If the number of people qualifies as a
carpool, the program volunteer can receive up to $300 in the form of an Amazon
gift card as a reward for participation.


PILOT PROGRAM GOALS

The Express Carpool Check pilot is using new technology. This program aims to:

 * Determine the functionality and accuracy of the app
 * Get feedback from app users
 * Explore privacy issues
 * Inform full deployment potential
 * And more


PILOT PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The pilot program will be tested with volunteers who travel on the Interstate
680 Contra Costa Express Lanes corridor between Martinez and Dublin.

During this pilot phase, drivers will still need to activate their FasTrak® Flex
tags when driving in the Express Lanes.

 * Equity Considerations
 * Project Phase 1 Timeline
 * Staff Contact

Equity Considerations

Equity is top-of-mind for this pilot program, and MTC will be evaluating the
success of the pilot in part by considering these factors:

 * Privacy for users
 * Accessibility for people with disabilities
 * Making sure that people of all skin tones and ages are detected properly by
   the app
 * Expanding pilot participation and access to express lanes for those who are
   not currently FasTrak account holders
 * Encouraging participation from residents of Equity Priority Communities

Project Phase 1 Timeline

Activity Estimated Timeframe Pilot Period Fall 2023 Post-Pilot Evaluation Spring
