The Sacramento TMA is an independent non-profit organization that offers alternatives to driving alone. This website has information on options, incentives to try them, and programs to support your choice to change the way you get to work. We encourage you to explore this site for information to help you decide which transportation alternatives will work for you.
Check out our Facebook page where we post current, interesting commuter facts, from transit plans to carsharing to how to share the street with pedestrians, cars and bicycle.
Find the right mix for your commute
People’s lifestyles vary, and commute needs change based on where we live, distance from work, weather, and personal responsibilities.
There are plenty of transportation alternatives: carpooling, vanpooling, riding a bike, taking the bus, telecommuting and walking.
By considering your options ahead of time, you can be prepared and know what to use when you need one. You can find all the information you need on this site or by calling us at (916) 737-1513.
Not sure where to start?
There are a variety of tools to help you plan your next trip:
- Go to sacregion511.org to register, or log in if you are registered, and start logging the Trips you make walking, bicycling, sharing a ride. When you work from home you log it as a Telework Trip.
- Check out the Transit Providers to find one in your area. An online map program will help find routes and times for Regional Transit, Roseville Transit or Yolo Bus services.
- Check out the Seats Available in vanpools, or find out how to start your own here.
- Get a list of people to carpool with on sacregion511.org.
- To plan a bicycle trip, go to an online mapping program and click on the bicycle to find the best route.
Sacregion511.org will show you how much money you've saved, pounds of CO2 you kept from the atmosphere and how many calories you burned by walking and bicycling. (If you're working from home, you already know how much time you're saving because you're skipping the commute.)
