How Does Commute PA Work?

Commute PA is a Susquehanna Regional Transportation Partnership program that promotes sustainable and active transportation choices like biking and walking and other initiatives that reduce single-occupancy vehicle travel. We’re a free program helping commuters find green commuting options in the nine-county radius of Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York. Our program is also open to students going to college and commuters running errands.

We aim to demonstrate the positive impact of green commutes such as carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, biking, walking and telecommuting on reducing congestion, conserving natural resources and improving safety and mobility. By implementing innovative Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs, we enhance the health and overall quality of life of Pennsylvania residents.

How Commute PA Works

We provide resources to commuters and employers to empower them to explore and use eco-friendly transportation options. After signing up for free online or downloading the app, users log their preferred modes of travel, including biking, walking, carpooling, telecommuting, vanpooling and transit. They also get access to our trip planner to find rides to get to work, the doctor’s or an event or concert.

Whether you walk to your destination or catch public transit, you can log these and other greener trips with us. Track what you saved by not driving alone and earn Commute PA points to redeem for restaurant coupons, retail discounts and monthly gift card drawings.

Here’s a quick look at what our free program includes:

  • An app that helps you find like-minded people near you seeking carpools and vanpools.
  • Education on creating efficient and sustainable travel routes.
  • Custom commute planning to figure out the best green commute options.
  • Trip planners with public transit, biking and walking directions.
  • Emergency Ride Home program to provide a reimbursement in case of unexpected events for commuters who record two weekly green trips.

Why Should I Choose Green Commute Modes?

By choosing more sustainable and active modes of transportation instead of driving alone, you improve your overall well-being, save money and positively impact the environment. The main benefits of green trips include:

  • Efficiency: Our TDM program combines and supports all transportation options to ensure an individual can use multiple modes to commute to their destination. For example, you can bike to the bus stop, ride the bus and bike the rest of the way to your destination.
  • Less traffic: Green commuting reduces the number of drivers on the road, minimizing congestion and emissions to build a better community.
  • Green commuting rewards: Our unique program allows you to earn points to receive discounts, entry into our monthly drawings and other rewards while saving money on gas. Even with a simple trip to work, your Commute PA points can add up quickly over the course of a month or a year.
