Commuting suggestions offered bycall the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission’s Commute Info program staff:
Near a transit line or park-n-ride? Need rides at varying times?
Consider transit. There are 10 public transit operators within the Southwestern PA region, many of which provide local as well as commuter services.
Not looking for a long term commitment? Want flexibility? Need something just temporarily?
Consider Carpooling. Carpooling happens when two or more people decide to share a ride. Many people carpool every day. Most of those carpools were formed by people who talked with their friends, family, neighbors & co-workers and decided they wanted to share a ride.
Work a steady shift? Looking for a longer-term alternative?
Consider vanpooling. A vanpool is a group of 7 to 15 people who commute to and from work together but do not necessarily work in the same location. Participants volunteer to drive. Vanpools typically travel more than 15 miles one way and only have one scheduled trip into work and back home per day.
For more information about these commuting options and more, call the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission’s CommuteInfo program staff at 1-888-819-6110 or visit the website at www.commuteinfo.org.
