GO Santa Cruz County

GO Santa Cruz County rewards Santa Cruz County travelers with incentives to choose an earth-friendly commute. You’ll earn points that can be redeemed for rewards when you walk, bike, carpool, ride the bus, vanpool, or telecommute to work and/or class.

How it Works

Log into Cruz511 or sign up to join GO Santa Cruz County.
Make sure you use your UCSC email address to access the private UCSC network .
Enter your regular commute details (whether your commute is to class or to work).
Log your sustainable trips manually or use the Commute Tracker tool to track your trips automatically.
For every eligible trip, you earn 10 points (limit 20 points per day)
Every 250 points is worth $10. You can redeem your points for a gift card from one of over 200 retailers, or you can donate them to your favorite charity. You can earn up to $100 per year.
Bonus! Every trip you log each month enters you in a raffle for a $25 Visa gift card.

Go Santa Cruz County is funded through the county-wide Measure D.
