Metro's Regional Travel Options program improves air quality and reduces car traffic by encouraging people to drive less and use travel options such as walking, biking, taking transit, vanpooling or carpooling.
Reducing the number of cars on the road cuts vehicle emissions, decreases congestion, extends the life cycle of existing roadways and promotes healthier communities.
