The Regional Travel Options program works to increase use of travel options and reduce pollution.

Every day, people throughout the Metro region are getting where they need to be without the hassles of gas prices, traffic and parking woes. In a coordinated effort with public agencies and business organizations, Metro's Regional Travel Options program promotes and supports the transportation choices available in the region to reduce the number of drive alone trips.

Reducing the number of vehicles on the road cuts vehicle emissions, decreases congestion, extends the life cycle of existing roadways and promotes a healthier community.

The program is guided by a five-year strategic plan developed in partnership with program stakeholders. The plan is available to download below.
