Commuting Alternatives
Construction is complete, but continuing commuting alternatives will make getting to and from work easier.
To make your commute more manageable and help reduce the number of vehicles on the road during rush hour, ADOT and the Pima Association of Governments (PAG) recommends that you explore alternatives to driving alone.
Here Are Some Suggestions:
- Telecommuting/Working from Home,
whether just for a couple of days or for the whole
week, is the ultimate way to beat traffic and
save money. Speak with your employer to see if
telecommuting would work for you.
- Flextime allows you to avoid
rush hour traffic by commuting during off-peak
hours. Talk with your employer about working out
a different schedule.
- Park & Ride lots are a great
way to avoid congestion. You can park and connect
to a bus, a shuttle or a carpool. You can also
take your bike or even walk from the Park & Ride
lot. Log on to Park & Ride
or Sun Tran.
- Sun Tran, Tucson's bus service, is a relaxing way to commute. Call customer information at (520) 792-9222, or go to their Web site for trip planning, commute-to-work information, the Guaranteed Ride Home program and the Bike & Ride program.

- Bicycling can give you added
flexibility in routes and increase your fitness
simultaneously. Call the Tucson-Pima County Bicycle
Advisory Committee at (520) 740-6746 or, for maps
