The RoundTrip program of the Greater Madison MPO (metropolitan planning organization) is launching a new online platform connecting Dane County residents and commuters with convenient alternatives to driving alone, according to a news release.
RoundTrip provides resources and incentives that support affordable, sustainable transportation options including carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling, and public transit. Features of the new platform include a multimodal trip planner with easy-to-use ride-matching capabilities; personalized user dashboards; trip logging for personal stats and gamification; a RideBoard for one-time trips; and event-based trip pooling.
With over 70% of Dane County commuters driving alone to work pre-pandemic, RoundTrip encourages commuters to make transportation choices like walking, bicycling, carpooling, public transit, and telework a daily habit instead.
RoundTrip also encourages employers to promote transportation options at their workplace by partnering with RoundTrip. More information for employers is available on the RoundTrip website and in the Employer Commute Options Program Toolkit.
