Employees Making a Difference

More than two in five full time employees report using a traditional alternate mode at least once a week (43%) and this percentage increases to 56% when employees who telecommute and/or work a compressed work schedule are included in the alternate mode total.  These efforts reduce highway traffic congestion and hazardous air pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide and Particulate Matter (PM-10).  Thank you!

Valley Metro bus service is available across Maricopa County, with over 100 different lines operating throughout the day.  Are you aware of the local bus options in your area?  Bus riders can use Valley Metro’s Custom Trip Planner, available on the ValleyMetro.org home page, to view their options.  Users enter their origin, destination, and time of travel and the system will provide the routes available.  Once a route is selected, purchasing a fare is the final step before traveling.  A number of fare options are available for both commuters and recreational travel - see our home page for more details. 

Valley Metro also produces transit schedule books, which are available for free using an online order form.  The schedule shows when each bus will leave major stops along its route.  Please note that express routes and some local routes operate Monday through Friday only.  Actual arrival and departure times may vary according to traffic conditions, and all information in bus schedules is subject to change.
