Martz Virginia Commuter Announcement

• Our Pentagon Express Run is being finalized; we are awaiting approval from the Pentagon Transportation Office regarding our bay assignment.  Once this assignment is made/approved, we will initiate our Express Run within two (2) weeks.
• Wireless (WiFi) equipment is being tested at the present time within our fleet.   As previously stated, the entire Martz Virginia fleet will be equipped with this feature no later than 2009 year-end and commuters will be able to access this service "free of charge".
• Our latest Commuter Survey results are being tabulated and we will announce the winners of the three (3) free monthly passes and the three (3) free 20-ride passes no later than September 18th from among those commuter customers who answered our survey.
• It has been reported that some of our competitors are reducing/eliminating selected routes, effective Tuesday, September 8th.   We will honor those competitor tickets for the remainder of September - provided those customers pre-register with Megan Bailey at mabailey@martzgroup.com or via phone at 540-898-6959, ext.22.   Martz commuters are encouraged to promote this as a "tie-in" to our new Customer Referral program outlined on the reverse side of this notice; please ensure that if you refer a competitor's customer that they provide your name to Megan Bailey so you receive credit for the referral.

• We will include all monthly and 20-ride customers in the loyalty program.   For each calendar "quarter/3 month period" we will review/count receipts from existing customers as part of a prize raffle.  Each customer has the potential to have three (3) entries in the raffle, i.e., one per month/20-ride ticket purchase.   First prize per quarter will be a $150 gift certificate, 2nd prize $100, 3rd prize $50.    
• At the end of each calendar year, we will hold a grand prize drawing and will include all existing customers with valid ticket purchase receipts as part of the drawing.   Each customer has the potential to have a maximum of twelve (12) entries in the raffle, i.e., one per month/20-ride ticket purchase.   First prize will be $2,500, 2nd prize $1,500, 3rd prize $500.    
• Additionally, at the end of each calendar year, every customer who has purchased a minimum of nine (9) monthly or 20-ride tickets during that calendar year will receive a complimentary 10-ride ticket free of charge.
• Additional elements of the loyalty program will include discounts on Martz Virginia's Radio City Music Hall Christmas trip as well as discounts/giveaways for Gray Line of Washington, DC's sightseeing tours.
• Customer Referral Program
• We will include all monthly and 20-ride customers in the referral program.  For each new customer who is referred to Martz Virginia by an existing monthly or 20-ride Martz commuter, a 5% rebate on the total new customer purchase amount will be issued to the current Martz commuter at the end of a six-month period.    A minimum of six monthly tickets or six 20-ride tickets must be purchased.   Example:  A current Martz commuter refers a new monthly customer.  $280 x 6 months = $1,680 x 5% = $84 rebate.  This rebate may be applied to a ticket purchase or be issued to the Martz commuter.     The number of customers that can be referred is unlimited.
