 ·        Marin County, one of the largest employers in the SF Bay Area, has implemented a stipend as part of its Green Commute Program in response to concerns about traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. The County offers $4 a day to regular and extra hire employees who get to work without using a single occupant motor vehicle. Regular and extra hire employees who participate in the Green Commute Program by walking, bicycling, car or vanpooling, or riding transit for their trip to work are eligible for the $4 a day stipend. http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/pw/main/green_commuting.cfm
