Did you know you can earn rewards in Houston ConnectSmart by playing Bingo during Earth Month? Starting April 21, 2025, current users have two weeks to complete three tiles in a row, column, or diagonal on their Carpool Challenge Bingo card using the ConnectSmart app. New users start by completing a Bingo on the Explorer Challenge Bingo card before unlocking their two-week Carpool Challenge. 


After each carpool-related action taken in the ConnectSmart app, you’ll earn a chance to play a tile on your Carpool Challenge card, bringing you one step closer to earning 5 reward Coins. Coins can be used on gift cards, Uber rides, or a chip-in fee for carpooling. 


Every carpool you take reduces vehicular miles, lowers carbon emissions, and saves money on gas. Visit your Trip Log to see the impact you’re making–for yourself, your carpool buddy, the Houston region, and the planet!

Planning ahead? You can also schedule a carpool by joining or creating a carpool group. Set up a public or private group with your friends, family, neighbors, or check if your employer already has a carpool group you can join. Click here for instructions on how to take a scheduled carpool.
