Metro's 'One Car Challenge' is a pilot program that starts in November and offers payments of up to $119.80 each week, totaling up to $599 total per household.

How about a new side hustle that pays you not to drive? Santa Monica is partnering with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority offering residents in multiple vehicle households to use only one car for five weeks.

The goal is to get people to change transportation habits; carpool, use public transit, walk, or bike instead of jumping in the car for local trips. The long-term goal is to reduce traffic. The pilot program also offers those selected to participate a free TAP card with a $50 stored value and five to 10 free rides on Metro Bike Share. LA Metro Travel Rewards Research Pilot Project
