What is Smart Commute Markham, Richmond Hill?
Smart Commute is a not-for-profit sustainability initiative of the municipalities of Markham and Richmond Hill, York Region and Metrolinx. We help local employers and commuters, like you, explore different commute choices like carpooling, cycling and transit. Our goal is to ease gridlock, improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while making your commute less expensive and more enjoyable.
Your savings! In just five years, Carpool Zone users in the GTA have saved over ten million dollars and prevented 24,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions; the equivalent of about 9 million bricks! |
York Regional Council approved a plan to offer free transit service to riders for a limited time once the labour disruption ends and service resumes. The Municipality recognizes the challenges the strike has created for commuters and wants to return all savings from not paying contractors during the strike to riders.
