Carpool and combine trips

Getting together or going somewhere with family and friends? Consider carpooling! Not only does this help reduce traffic, it cuts down on air pollution, and allows you to spend more quality time with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers. 

Need to run to the store? Adopt an “while I’m out” approach to efficiently combine car trips, and you can have a dramatic impact on our air. You could also pick one day each week to shop and run errands.

Shopping online? When you order delivery, ask for a bundled shipment to save trips. And in the summer, have deliveries sent after 5 p.m. when possible.

Commuting with coworkers

Several programs in the Colorado Front Range can help you save on gas and time, by carpooling or “vanpooling” on your commute.

Way to Go helps employers — at no cost — find the right commute options for their employees, improving morale while reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Let Way to Go’s commute consultants help you find a better way to go.
