More than 3,000 metro area riders try winter biking

Friday, Feb. 8 was International Winter Bike to Work Day 2019, and Colorado dominated the world leader board! The day was bitter cold and due to a storm two days previous the streets were snow-packed: Despite that, riders braved the weather to get their early-morning cardio in and get their blood moving. While Way to Go estimates that many riders rode other days due to the weather, the high pledge participation is a testament to the rising profile of biking as a commute choice for Coloradans year-round. Around 3,600 committed to riding, with nearly 4,000 making the pledge statewide.

Bustang adds service to Denver Tech Center

Bustang, the Colorado Department of Transportation’s interregional express bus service, begins service between Colorado Springs and the Denver Tech Center (DTC) Monday, Dec. 17, 2018. In addition to serving one of the largest employment centers along the Front Range, expanding the number of trips between the two cities will help to relieve commuter traffic along Interstate 25, including the 18-mile Gap segment currently under construction between Monument and Castle Rock.

2018 Go-Tober Challenge concludes

Congratulations to all the companies who participated in the 2018 Go-Tober challenge! Fifty-eight companies throughout the metro area participated in our annual friendly competition to see which could get their employees to log the most commutes by transit, carpool, on their bikes or their feet. Of those, more than 2,000 took at least one trip during the month of October using a method other than driving alone, and 1,899 made the goal of at least one day per week.

Go-Tober Challenge 2018

Fall in Denver means it's time for the 2018 Go-Tober Challenge! The challenge involves getting businesses across the metro area to encourage their employees to try a different way of getting to work at least once a week during the month of October. Take a carpool, start a vanpool, bus, bike...we've even seen people who rode their horse to work during Go-Tober! It's fun and friendly, and a great way to look a different way of commuting.

Winter is coming

What better time to consider your commute options than when the days get colder and hours of sunlight grow shorter? When the day is icy, a bus or train is already preheated for your comfort! When it's dark outside when you leave the office, a carpool buddy makes the trip home a little brighter. Even better, a van full of friends to help you shake off the day and arrive at home feeling more cheerful. Let help us you find friends to ride with and transit trips at mywaytogo.org.

Go in the Know - Guaranteed Ride Home

The Guaranteed Ride Home Program is an added benefit provided to employees of companies participating in the annual RTD EcoPass program. This exclusive Way to Go service encourages the use of public transportation and other commute methods such as carpooling, vanpooling, biking, and walking by providing employees with a free taxi ride home if an emergency situation occurs while they are at work on a day they used a transportation option other than driving alone. The Guaranteed Ride Home program saw a 49.5% increase in the number of taxi rides home provided to EcoPass holders from 2013 to 2014.
