Telework and Bike Pledge | $150 Visa Gift Card
“My favorite things about teleworking and biking: I appreciate that more mobility choices to get to work give me flexibility in my workday. My bike ride to work is over 10 miles – it’s a great way to start and end my workday being physically active to get out on Three Rivers bike trails, do some bird watching, and to be outside more during the week. Teleworking allows me to reduce miles in my car while increasing my productivity to start my workday sooner, go for a lunch walk in my neighborhood, and focus on projects from home. ”

Bike Pledge | Electric Bike
“Biking to work and around the city in general really opens your eyes to all the wonderful experiences it offers. I have discovered some of my favorite places in the city because I rode my bike! When you drive you just zip past most things or miss them altogether taking the fastest route.”

Carpool Pledge | $150 Visa Gift Card
“The thing I like about carpooling is that you get to spend time with friends and share a few laughs. It makes traveling a little less stressful. You save money, reduce traffic, and give something back to the environment by creating less pollution.”
Commuters Success Stories
Will Maddrey
Bike, Bus & Telework Commuter
“I love incorporating cycling into my commute. Having time outside and starting the day with exercise is amazing,” he says.
“I also do this to lower my carbon emissions and to cut out pollution as much as I possibly can.”
Madiha Mirza
Bus commuter
“Taking public transit is a really practical choice for my commute. I catch up on reading, answer emails, and, best of all, avoid the stress of traffic. I also love that it helps reduce my carbon footprint. Choosing the Metro Transit bus for my daily commute aligns with both my personal efficiency and environmental values.”
Commuter Spotlight
Alec Marsh
Walk & Transit Commuter
“I love not having to worry about the weather or traffic or the price of gas,” he says. “My 5-minute walk does not change. It gives me more time to get ready in the morning, which means I’m more prepared for the workday… and it gives me more time to relax when I get home.”
