e-Premiere

 

Spectrumotion is pleased to introduce our new quarterly e-newsletter. Its purpose is to provide Irvine Spectrum commuters with news regarding transportation and alternatives to driving alone. From information about Metrolink trains and Orange County Transportation Authority buses, to details about our own free services and rideshare incentives, we hope to give you all the information you’ll need to make your commute to Irvine Spectrum the best it can be.

 

If you have comments or suggestions, please contact Lea Thompson at 72-SHARE (727-4273). Žv

 

California Rideshare Week 2004

 

 

October 4 – 8 has been designated as California Rideshare Week. Commuters who rideshare during this week can win some great prizes by completing the Rideshare Activity Card which is available by clicking on the Rideshare Week logo above or by contacting Spectrumotion. Some employers may also have them available in their HR Departments.

 

Employers who participate can also win prizes. Spectrumotion is sponsoring a random prize drawing, awarding two gift certificates to the Irvine Spectrum Center (one for $250 and one for $500), specifically for Irvine Spectrum employers. All you need to do is return the completed Rideshare Week Participation Form (click here) to OCTA, distribute the Rideshare Week information to your employees and have at least one employee sign up.  For details contact Lea Thompson at 72-SHARE (727-7243).

New Neighbors… New Opportunities

 

Spectrumotion has had the pleasure of working with three new companies that recently relocated to Irvine Spectrum. Join us in welcoming our new neighbors Gateway, Homeloancenter.com and Realigent. All three were concerned about their employees’ new commutes and asked that we help out. So far, we have found an alternative to driving alone for over 200 of their folks!

 

As a reminder, new names in our rideshare database create new opportunities for everyone interested in starting a carpool or adding someone new to an existing carpool. Along with these new arrivals, we are constantly updating our database.  If you haven’t ordered a carpool matchlist from us recently, this would be a good time to do so. If this sounds like a good idea, click here or call us at 72-SHARE (727-4273). Žv

 

Metrolink Ridership Soars

 

Rail 2 Rail Program Offers Flexibility

 

During August and September, Spectrumotion had a surge of new enrollments in the free Metrolink ticket program.  A record 60 commuters received two weeks free on Metrolink.  Average monthly enrollment is 20 commuters.  The increase can be traced partly to Gateway’s relocation to Irvine Spectrum.

 

In other Metrolink news, the Rail 2 Rail program allows Metrolink monthly pass holders traveling between Union Station, Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, San Juan Capistrano, Oceanside and Irvine the flexibility to ride either Metrolink or specified Amtrak trains.  For more details contact Sharon Sadlon at 72-SHARE (727-4273) or go to www.metrolinktrains.com.
