It's a new year and a new chance to win on the Carpool Connection.  Those who use their Commute Tracker calendar to report carpooling or vanpooling, riding the bus, bicycling, or walking to work at least once during the month will be entered into a new prize drawing.  This month's prizes include one $50.00 Target gift card, one pair of Yaktrax Walkers (great for foot traction on the ice and snow) and two RideShare lunch/goodie bags.  Winners will be notified on Friday, January 30th.

To be eligible, participants must work for employers located in Jackson, Clay, Platte or Cass counties in Missouri, or Johnson, Wyandotte or Leavenworth counties in Kansas. This promotion is sponsored by the RideShare Program at the Mid-America Regional Council.
