With this new tool you can:

·         MATCH YOUR TRIPS WITH OTHERS: Similar to Carpool Zone, you can use your origin and destination for a regular or one-time trip to match with others who have a similar travel plan and save on commute costs and environmental impacts.

·         EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS FROM A-B: The tool will provide you with a range of travel options for your trip and help you make an informed decision.

·         TRACK YOUR IMPACT: You can track your trip choices to see the impact on your costs and local environment, receive rewards and compete with your colleagues. Use this tool to track your trip during Smart Commute Week (September 22 – 28, 2014) for a chance at some great prizes!
