Welcome to the Beta Zone

During July and August 2012, Marin County ran a Beta Program to implement and encourage Real-time Ridesharing using Avego software. The program focused on the Hwy 101 corridor from Santa Rosa to the Civic Center area of San Rafael.

The Beta program is now closed to new participants until late Fall 2012.

This page describes the actions that Beta participants were requested to take; future Beta programs will likely have similar tasks.
To be eligible for the WeGo Marin Beta program rewards you must complete 4 weeks of the program within the 5 week period July 16 – August 17, 2012. Only registered Beta participants will be given rewards described on this page.
