Just because it's the spooky time of the season doesn't mean you should be scared of your commute! Fall is the perfect time to find a commute you love, whether you are travelling by foot, bike, carpool, vanpool or transit. Just like sneaking your kiddo's treats while they sleep, getting around Redmond without a car has never been easier or more rewarding. 

Go Redmond is here to help you find all your commute options and earn rewards for leaving your car behind!

 

Transit can be a real treat!

Riding the bus is easy, lets you avoid parking (and paying for parking), and is good for our environment. 

If you’re new to riding the bus for work or to run errands, here are some handy tools to help make your ride a smooth one.

Vanpools- Find your perfect coven 

Vanpools are a great option if you travel to work on a set schedule or if you are commuting from locations with limited bus access. They have flexibility and convenience of a car, but with reduced costs and access to the HOV lane.

The van’s fuel, insurance, and maintenance are covered so you can get on the road to work!  If there isn’t currently a vanpool going your way, it’s easy to set up a new vanpool at your worksite.

Carpool, don't be a ghoul!

Carpooling is another incredibly flexible way to get to work. You and your carpool partner get to decide where to meet, what radio station you’re going to listen to, and whether or not you converse before you get your first cup of coffee down the hatch. 

USING GO REDMOND'S RIDEMATCHING.

 

Have you heard about dynamic carpooling? Scoop and Waze Carpooling are two carpooling apps now available to people commuting to Redmond that can give you options on how, when, where and who you carpool with.  Through your smart phone, you can find a flexible carpool that works for you.
