The City is piloted a new travel options program to offer community members who recently moved to the area with customized transportation information and support, events, and rewards to help walk, bike, carpool, and take the bus more often.

The pilot program was available in two areas: neighborhoods around The Vine on Fourth Plain and The Vine on Mill Plain/Fisher’s Landing.

Program Goals

  1. Encourage and increase the use of travel options such as bicycling, walking, transit, carpooling, riding a scooter, vanpooling, etc.
  2. Assist new movers in accessing and using travel options available in their area
  3. Enhance transportation education for new residents and the community
