Ways You Can Go

A whimsical illustration of a literal car-pool full of zoo animals including penguins and giraffes.

Oh, the ways you can go!

The ways you can ride!

Past traffic and headaches, just give it a try.
Alone in your car you could sit and stew.
But why not try something new?
Jump on transit that zooms.
Ride a bike that glides past.
Carpool with coworkers to save big on gas.
Step up. Step out. Share a ride. Plan a trip. 
Try out your options. Just tap, map and zip.
Imagine less stress and more time.
Cleaner air and clearer skies.

Let Way to Go find your new favorite ride!

Why should I rethink my commute?

Each solo commute adds to congestion, especially during peak travel. Swapping solo car trips for options like biking, walking, transit, carpooling or vanpooling helps reduce traffic and improve air quality. It can also save you time and money. Small changes in how we travel add up to a big impact for the Denver region and your daily routine.
  • Improve your health and air quality
  • Save money on gas, parking and maintenance
  • Avoid traffic and reduce stress
  • Make better use of your commute time

How does my commute affect air quality?

The Front Range experiences high levels of ground-level ozone, especially during summer. Ozone forms when heat and sunlight combine with emissions from vehicles and other sources. High ozone levels have been linked to respiratory and cardiovascular illness. Choosing a cleaner commute helps reduce these emissions, especially during peak ozone season from June through August.

Does swapping solo drives really make an impact?

Denver residents take 3.7+ million trips each weekday. That’s an average of four trips per person, and more than half of all trips are solo drives. Swapping just two solo drives per week for a year can save:
  • 100+ car trips
  • $100+ on gas & parking
  • 1,000+ lbs. CO2 of emissions
