Middle Peninsula residents are invited to participate in a brief survey to help enhance regional commuting options through the MidPenRideShare program.

Available now, the 25-question online survey takes just a few minutes to complete and will remain open until March 31, 2025. As an added incentive, participants who complete the survey will have the option to be entered into a drawing for a $250 VISA gift card.

The Middle Peninsula’s out commuter rate remains among the highest in the state, with roughly 77% of its workforce leaving the Middle Peninsula to go to work.

Survey responses will provide critical insights into commuting habits, helping refine and expand the MidPenRideShare program and other offerings to better serve the community.

MidPenRideShare is a free service designed to increase commuting options for residents by promoting carpooling, vanpooling, biking and public transit while also supporting teleworking.

By registering for MidPenRideShare, commuters gain access to a statewide database that helps match them with others who share similar travel routes, making it easier to coordinate shared rides and reduce transportation costs.

Residents are encouraged to participate in the MidPenRideShare survey before the March 31, 2025 deadline to have their voices heard and for a chance to win the $250 VISA gift card.

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.
