Partners

Commuting Solutions works in partnership with a regional network of eight Transportation Management Organizations (TMOs) throughout the Denver metro area and the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) through the Way to Go program. Way to Go’s mission is to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and make life better for the region’s residents.

The strength of a TMO lies in its ability to bring together multiple organizations and individuals to holistically address and accomplish more than any one government agency, employer, developer or resident can. Activities range from providing public education about transportation options to taking an active role in site-design elements that effectively impact travel demand.
