Enrolling in the program

Sign-up takes about five minutes and seven short steps. Enrolling in the One Car Challenge is quick. Have your address, debit card, and phone nearby and you'll be done in a few minutes.

The 7 steps

1. Program Rules

A short read-through of how the pilot works. Tap Continue at the bottom.

2. Your Address

Tell us where you live. This is how we confirm you're in LA County.

3. Consents

You'll see two consent screens — one for GoCarma (the app that powers the pilot) and one for the One Car Challenge itself. Read each and agree to continue.

4. Account Creation

Enter your details, then verify by phone and email. If you've used GoCarma before, you'll be invited to log in instead — no need to make a new account.

5. Payment Method

Choose how you'd like to be paid: a debit card (direct deposit via Stripe) or your email address (a virtual Visa via Tremendous).

6. Link Your TAP Card (optional)

If you already have an LA Metro TAP card, link it here so trips count automatically.

7. App Permissions

Allow location and notifications. We need location to verify trips and the parked vehicle's status. Notifications are how we'll remind you about your Sunday odometer report.

That's it — you're enrolled. The next thing you'll see is your assigned cohort and the dates your pilot runs.
