Give Transit a Try
There’s a growing movement in Western New York. Looking for ways to beat traffic jams? Cut down on your carbon footprint? Save some money? Are you ready to change the way you get around? You’re in the right place. Our programs make it easier for you to drive less and enjoy life more.
REGISTER YOUR BICYCLE
Register your stolen bicycle through BikeIndex.org, or better yet – before it is stolen. Once your bike is listed, its details will be made available to bike shops, police departments, pawn shops and other organizations that use the stolen.bikeindex.org data to help fight bike theft. Follow the link below to learn more about how to prevent bike theft, and what to do if your bike is stolen – and to register your bike!
GUARANTEED RIDE HOME PROGRAM
When you need to leave work unexpectedly, and can’t use your regular mode of commute, we’ll get you to your destination by Lyft, Uber, taxi or public transit—up to $200 in total ride credits a year (limitations apply).
EARN REWARDS FOR YOUR COMMUTE
Making greener commuting choices is easy, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be rewarded for it. Commuters who track at least 10 trips using a sustainable transportation method (walking, biking, public transit, carpooling, or any other method other than driving alone) in the 511 Mobility app each month will be entered to win a $50 Shop 716 eGift card.

Sign up for Reddy Bikeshare and get access to a fleet of shared bicycles found throughout the region. Use the bikes to run errands, get exercise or simply get to your destination in a greener and healthier way.
CARPOOL MATCHING ONLINE
Looking for someone to share a ride to work with? Our online carpool matching program can help. Just fill in your commute information and your preferences, and it will tell you when a possible match is found with someone who lives near you and works near you. From there, you can send them a message to jump start the conversation. It’s easy!
