Clean Commute Day is on its way, and RIDE Solutions is challenging the Roanoke Valley to Commute Clean on May 16 with special events, Bike to Work Day routes, giveaways, and more.


Using clean commute modes such as carpooling, bicycling, walking, and using public transit are not only a great way to save money at the gas pump, but also improve regional air quality and reduce your carbon footprint. Take the pledge to Commute Clean on May 16 and encourage your friends, family, and coworkers to do the same.

Driving alone to work? Don't. Put your commute to work for you - carpool with a coworker to share the cost of gas; walk or bicycle and get in your daily workout; or take the bus and use your commute time to plan your day, read the newspaper, or listen to your iPod.

Let RIDE Solutions help you save time and money by connecting you to your commuting options with our FREE carpool matching service. Or register with us for the free Guaranteed Ride Home benefit and never worry about being stuck without a ride, missing the bus, or being caught in a storm with nothing but your bicycle helmet to keep the rain off.

Transportation behavior in the Roanoke and New River valleys have a number of impacts: commute times and expenses have soared over the last several decades; employees now spend over 50 hours every year on their commutes, and transportation-related costs are second only to mortages in the average household budget - higher, even, than health care. Vehicle emissions are a significant contributer to pollutants, including greenhouse gas emissions, ozone, and particulate matter pollution. Our aging transportation infrastructure cannot keep up with the increasing demand.

No matter what alternative you choose, RIDE Solutions has got you covered in an emergency. If you're ever stuck without a way home, our Guaranteed Ride Home program will pay for your cab ride! Register with RIDE Solutions and enjoy the assurance of never being stuck.
