What are the options?

Carpools
Sharing the drive saves wear and tear, and is door-to-door. You help reduce congestion, pollution, and most commuters save over $1,500/yr.

Bicycling and Walking
You’re independent and can combine ped./bike commuting with other alternatives like Metro Transit because all buses are equipped with bike racks. To learn more, you can go to the City of Madison Bicycle and Pedestrian Portal at www.cityofmadison.com/transp/bicycle.html
