New Ride Match System & Discounted Bike Racks – Join the GO MAINE Nation!
New GO MAINE Ridematching System
GO MAINE Commuter Connections has just introduced an innovative new ridematching system that’s easier and faster to use. State-of- the-art “smart” ridematching software weighs all possible matches against your commuter profile, allowing the system to more accurately find you a commuter match for carpooling and other commuting options.
Another great new feature allows you to instantly view other commuters in your area. Whether you’re interested in carpooling, vanpooling or both, go to GO MAINE for an instant list of people who live and work near you and work a similar schedule who may also want to share a ride.
Order Now – Discounted Bike Racks for Your Location from GO MAINE
The MaineDOT and GO MAINE Commuter Connections Program, in partnership with the Bicycle Coalition of Maine and the Safe Routes to School program, support and encourage bicycling as an important mode of transportation. They have created Bike Racks for ME for communities, organizations and workplaces across Maine to help expand bicycle parking opportunities. The only cost to you or your community is the local match of 20%.
There are two types of racks to choose from, the Bike Dock and the Stadium Rack. The Bike Dock holds two bikes and the free-standing Stadium Racks hold six or eight bikes. Go to GoMaine.org for the application packet . Quantities are limited and prices are valid through March 2010. Contact Erik West at GoMaine at 774-9891 for current program status and pricing, and any other questions related to bicycle commuting.

Hi folks ,
Thanks for posting the into on the bike racks. I just wanted to point out that the link to the bike rack application packet links to the old packet. Please dont use this one! Use the new packet with is found at http://www.gomaine.org. Just look for the Bike Racks for ME program and get the latest packet there.
And, not that it’s my decision, but I’d say those racks at Casco Bay lines should be replaced with some snazzy Go Maine racks don’t you think?
Keep up the great work.

Sorry about that Erik! We’ve changed the link on the post to go directly to GoMaine.org to erase confusion. And in this instance we’ll send a quick note to the Green Streets list with the correct info, too. Thanks for the clarification and yes, new GoMaine racks at Casco Bay Lines would great!
