If you're looking for ways to leave your car at home and reduce your carbon footprint, Metro Transit can help you pick the best option to get you moving.

Metro Transit has a variety of tools at metrotransit.org to get you started. One example is the Trip Planner which helps find the transit route that fits your needs. For instance, you can enter in a starting point, an end point destination and time of travel, and the Trip Planner will give you route options, fare information, and links to maps.

Rideshare Program in St. Paul

Author
St. Paul Transportation Management Organization
(TMO)

In 2007, the St. Paul Transportation Management Organization (TMO) brought the nation’s first incentive-based ride network, a national web-based organization called NuRide, to the seven-county metro area. Estimating that a 10% increase in ridesharing decreases congestion delays by 50%, the TMO believes everyone would start getting around a bit more quickly if we all shared a ride once in a while.

Car sharing is the organized use of one or more cars with other people. It's a way to have a car when you really need one, while relying on cheaper alternatives for other trips. Car sharing is designed to save you money and lessen your impact on the city and on the natural environment.
