Use Technology
Get the Latest Information Before You Hit the Road
Sometimes there's nothing you can do to avoid taking a trip. Even so, you can still be TravelWise. There are many tools available today to help you choose the best route to your destination. You can also use technology to track your travel patterns and see how making little changes can make a big difference.
Benefits
Quickly checking available resources like CommuterLink before getting in the car helps drivers see where traffic is built up, if there are weather-related road conditions to be aware of and which areas have construction taking place. This allows individuals to make informed decisions about when and where they travel. Avoiding problem areas, altering travel times and taking alternate routes helps relieve traffic congestion and makes the system work better for everyone.
If taking transit is on the travel agenda, the UTA Trip Planner is a helpful tool. After a rider inputs the travel route and the desired travel times, the Trip Planner shows suggested routes, their schedules and displays the estimated total travel time.
The TravelWise Tracker is another helpful tool that allows individuals to keep a log of daily trips eliminated by using TravelWise strategies. They can then view those trips in terms of the miles, emissions and money they saved by not traveling.
