Commuting & Travel
Getting where you need to go—whether it’s a quick grocery run or your daily commute to work or school—doesn’t have to mean hopping in the car. That’s why we run RoundTrip Greater Madison, a free public program that helps Dane County residents and employers explore convenient, affordable alternatives to driving alone.
Get to Know RoundTrip
RoundTrip is a free program that makes it easier for people in Dane County to choose alternatives to driving alone—like biking, walking or rolling, taking the bus, carpooling, or vanpooling. By encouraging more sustainable travel, RoundTrip helps reduce traffic, save money, and cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.
RoundTrip Connect
RoundTrip Connect is Dane County’s go-to platform for planning trips and finding smarter ways to get around. You can compare commute options, track your bike, bus, walk/roll, carpool, and vanpool trips, find a carpool match, and take part in regional challenges.
Whether you’re biking, busing, carpooling, walking or rolling—or combining modes—RoundTrip Connect makes it easy to find what works best for you.
Our Funding
RoundTrip is funded through a combination of federal grants from the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration—including the Surface Transportation Block Grant – Urban Program and the Metropolitan Planning Program—with additional support from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
We also receive support from local partners, including the City of Madison, Metro Transit, the Dane County Highway Department, and UW–Madison Transportation Services.
