What is the GoMoneyMiles Beta Program?

GoMoneyMiles is a pilot program sponsored by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) that rewards commuters for choosing alternatives to driving alone. The full pilot program is scheduled to launch in Summer 2026, but a limited group of participants will be invited to join the GoMoneyMiles Beta Program beginning in March 2026.

Beta participants will receive early access to the program, earn financial incentives for reducing drive-alone trips, answer program surveys, and play an important role in helping SBCTA refine and strengthen the program before its full public launch. By participating, you’ll support regional sustainability goals while earning up to $150 in rewards.

How It Works

The GoMoneyMiles Beta Program is available to a selection of 200 participants that register for the program. Participants use the GoCarma smartphone app (available on Apple and Android) to automatically capture their commutes to and from work.

Participating in the Beta Program is simple:

Common Questions

Key details about how the program works

The GoMoneyMiles Beta Program is scheduled to start in March 2026 and end in May 2026 when the full pilot will launch.

Beta participants earn VISA e-gift cards for eligible sustainable commutes and for answering short surveys. Rewards are easy to redeem and will be distributed to the email used on the GoCarma app throughout the duration of the Beta Program.

Yes. GoMoneyMiles is built on the GoCarma smartphone app which applies strict privacy protections:

  • Data captured: trip start/end points, travel mode, and trip time
  • Data disappears after 60 days — it is automatically purged and never stored long term.
  • No personal data is shared with any third party or disclosed to employers. SBCTA only receives aggregated participation statistics, not individual trip details.

      Following the Beta Program, GoMoneyMiles will launch county-wide in Summer 2026, offering a long-term commuter rewards platform that will continue for as long as funding is available. Beyond 2026, GoMoneyMiles will be contingent on available funding and approval by the SBCTA Board of Directors.
