Reliant Bank partners with Hytch carpooling app to offer rewards for ride-sharing
Reliant Bank is paying incentives to motivate commuters to share rides in an eight-county area of Middle Tennessee including Chattanooga’s Hamilton County. To help relieve traffic congestion and ease commutes, Reliant is partnering with Nashville-based Hytch Rewards, a free smartphone app that validates and rewards ride-sharing behavior through synchronized GPS technology.
Hytch Rewards is an app for iOS and Android that launched in February 2018, with Nissan North America.
Nissan North America, in partnership with Hytch and Reliant Bank, has committed to a one-cent reward for every shared mile ending anywhere in Tennessee, plus an additional four cents per shared mile ending in the eight-county area surrounding Nashville.
Since its launch, the Hytch community has tracked and been rewarded for more than one and a half million vehicle miles not driven.
Reliant Bank’s incentive plans target:
- Morning and afternoon congestion in Hamilton and Maury Counties by offering four cents per mile at peak weekday times.
- Afternoon congestion in Rutherford, Davidson, Robertson, Williamson, Hickman, and Sumner Counties by offering one cent per mile during afternoon commute times.
- Morning congestion for students of MTSU and Lipscomb University by offering four cents per mile during morning commute times.
The bank, which has branches near both campuses, also offers free student checking and savings accounts.
