Due to the overwhelming success of the program, King County Metro Rideshare Operations and Washington State Department of Transportation ended Fill it Up, Again! on September 30, 2008.

Participation in King County Metro's VanPool and VanShare programs have experienced unprecedented growth in 2008, thanks in part to an increase in gas prices and increasing congestion throughout the region. Because our actual growth has more than doubled our projected growth, our budget for Fill It Up, Again! has run out sooner than expected.

The Fill It Up Again! website closed on October 1, 2008 to new registrations. Existing registrants will be able to log-in to check the status of their awards.

Incentives available to participants who join a vanpool or vanshare include:

• $50 for new vanpool or vanshare riders
• an additional $50 for new vanpool or vanshare drivers or bookkeepers
• up to $250 for recruiting new riders ($50 per recruit)

On top of these rewards, employees living or working within the Redmond city limits are always eligible for additional cash bonuses through the R-TRIP program (www.GOrtrip.com) for using any alternative commute, including vanpool and vanshare.
