What if your flexible schedule could earn you more than just a better work-life balance? For hybrid and remote workers across the Middle Peninsula, it can — through ConnectingVA, a free program promoted by MidPenRideShare that turns your everyday routine into real rewards.

We’ve got a flyer that lays it all out, ready to download and share with your team, your coworkers, or anyone who could use a little extra for the way they already work.

What is ConnectingVA?

ConnectingVA is a free program that helps hybrid and remote workers track their schedule, stay prepared for unexpected changes, and win gift cards. Sign up, log your hybrid work days and eligible trips in the app, and you’re automatically entered into monthly drawings. It’s a simple way to turn a flexible schedule into real benefits.

Get started in minutes

Getting set up takes just four quick steps:

  1. Download the ConnectingVA app.
  2. Create your free account and select MidPenRideShare.
  3. Log your hybrid work days and eligible trips.
  4. Get entered to win gift cards in the monthly drawings.

That’s it. Once you’re set up, logging your routine becomes a quick habit that keeps you in the running month after month.

Why it’s worth it

Beyond the gift cards, ConnectingVA helps you stay organized and ready for whatever your week throws at you. And every hybrid day you log is one fewer trip on the road during peak hours, which means less congestion and lower emissions across the region. Your smarter schedule adds up to a real community benefit.

MidPenRideShare is a free service operated by the Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission for residents, workers, commuters, and tourists in Virginia’s Middle peninsula (Counties of Essex, Gloucester, King and Queen, King William, Mathews, and Middlesex and the towns of Tappahannock, Urbanna, and West Point).
The Commission has partnered with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) and their Virginia-wide ConnectingVA program to provide free ridematching to find carpools, vanpools, and all forms of public transportation, trip planning, and information on park-and-ride lots, bike share services, electric vehicle charging stations, and rewards.
