#SwitchYourTrip

Navigate construction with a new way to work. While we anticipate increased traffic congestion during certain time periods, choosing alternative routes and travel modes will be most effective in mitigating delays. You’ll also arrive at work stress-free and save money… a win-win for everyone! Alternative commutes include transit, bus/shuttle, carpool, bike, walk, vanpool, and more.
