Commute PA is an initiative that encourages sustainable transportation options for commuters that reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. Whether you’re into biking or looking for ways to cut down on single-occupancy vehicle travel, we’ve got you covered. We offer free commuter solutions and programs in Pennsylvania across Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York Counties.
Our program is perfect for those heading to work, students off to college and anyone running errands. We showcase the benefits of green commuting options like carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, walking, biking and telecommuting to help reduce congestion, save natural resources and improve mobility.
What Is Smart Commuting?
Smart commuting involves using a non-drive alone transportation option to reduce congestion and lower commuting costs. Smarter choices include walking, biking, carpooling, vanpooling, telecommuting and riding transit. Save time and improve your overall quality of life, make the right choice!
Carpooling
Sharing a ride with other people can reduce the number of cars on the road, lowering carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. Carpooling also saves money on fuel and car maintenance.
Vanpooling
Commuting to work in a van with colleagues allows you to socialize while saving money and the environment. You can also earn Federal tax benefits when you choose to vanpool.
Public Transit
Public transportation modes such as buses and trains can use electricity from renewable sources like solar and wind. Using public means of transportation can reduce your carbon footprint, save you money on fuel and reduce traffic congestion.
Biking
Cycling is a sure way to reduce carbon emissions. A bike-sharing program makes it easy for bikers to rent a bike temporarily. Biking is a great way to energize your morning and de-stress after work.
Walking
Traveling on foot for short distances can help you save money on commuting, reduce your carbon footprint and offer a great form of exercise. For many people, walking is a great way to start or end their day, as it helps them clear their minds and improve their overall well-being.
Telecommuting
Our program supports remote and hybrid work schedules to encourage employees to work from home rather than making the trip to work, saving them fuel costs and time.
