Commute Choices

Carpool

By carpooling, two or more people share a ride, and possibly driving responsibilities. It’s a great way to cut your commute costs in half and take some of the stress out of your ride to work. Here are some good reasons to give carpooling a try. Carpooling:

Reduces driving expenses
Reduces wear and tear on vehicles
Helps improve air quality by taking more cars off the road
Reduces commuting stress
Saves time, when you can use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes

If you’re new to carpooling, take a look at our “carpool rules and etiquette”.

Vanpool

A vanpool is a group of seven to 15 people who commute in a minivan or passenger van. Vanpools generally work best – and provide the greatest savings – for groups that have commutes of at least 20 miles each way. The vehicle can be provided by a company that specializes in vanpooling, the employer or an employee. Vanpooling has become an increasingly popular alternate commute because of its many benefits.

Reduces wear and tear and driving costs
Helps reduce air pollution by reducing number of vehicles on our roadways
Provides more free time for riders
Reduces commuting stress
Allows riders to share the responsibility of driving
Saves time, when you can use the HOV lanes

Transit

Transit provides convenient service for a great price, plus it’s one of the best ways to remove vehicles – and the resulting emissions – from our roads! RTC transit offers 39 routes throughout the valley with many of them running every 30 minutes or less, 24 hours a day. If your employer is a Club Ride partner, you may even be eligible for discounted passes through the EZ Rider Transit Pass program. Transit also:

Costs significantly less than driving alone
Reduces wear and tear on vehicles
Provides more free time
Reduces commuting stress
Allows you to carry your bicycle to finish your trip
Helps improve air quality by taking more cars off the road

Bicycling

Want to get healthy while you get to work? More and more Southern Nevada residents are choosing to bicycle to work. Some of the reasons why it pays to pedal:

Provides a very low-cost commute
Reduces wear and tear and driving costs
Eliminates hassle and cost of parking a car
Offers flexibility – matches any schedule
Emits no air pollution
Reduces commuting stress
Provides great exercise

Bicycling with Transit
All buses serving the Las Vegas Valley are equipped with bicycle racks on the front, making it even easier to combine commuting modes. Each rack on the transit vehicle can accommodate up to two bicycles and some of the newer vehicles can carry three. There is no additional cost to bring your bike along for the ride.

Visit rtcsnv.com/ways-to-travel/cycling for more information about cycling in Southern Nevada.

Walking

If you’re lucky enough to live within walking distance of work, lace up those tennis shoes. Let us convince you:

It’s absolutely free
Reduces driving expenses and wear and tear on your vehicle
Eliminates hassle and cost of parking a car
Helps improve air quality by taking another car off the road
Reduces commuting stress
Offers flexibility – matches any schedule
Provides a reliable commute alternative
Provides great exercise

Safety Reminder

Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes, bring plenty of fluids, and take caution on days of extreme weather. Don’t overdo it at first, and give yourself extra time when you start.

Work from Home

If you work from home regularly or occasionally, you can report this as an alternative commute with Club Ride. Your telecommuting location (for example, your home address if you are working from home) AND your employer must both be located in Clark County to be eligible. Working remote has many benefits, including:

Increased productivity
Decreased stress
Cost savings for employer and employee
Emissions and traffic congestion reductions

Compressed Work Week Day Off

A compressed work week is an alternative work arrangement where a standard work week is reduced to fewer than five days and employees make up the full number of hours per week by working longer hours. The most common options for a compressed work week are:

Four 10-hour days
Three 12-hour days
A week of five 9-hour days followed by a week of four 9-hour days

If your employer permits this type of alternative schedule, you can report your day or days off with Club Ride as an alternative commute! For example, if you work Monday – Thursday, 10 hours each day, then Friday is considered a compressed work week day off. If you work Sunday – Tuesday, 12 hours each day, then Wednesday and Thursday are considered compressed work week days off. Only the day or days off that you would have worked on a traditional schedule are eligible for reporting as an alternative commute. You can report your compressed work week day off on the commute calendar online or by using the Club Ride Rewards mobile app.

Guaranteed Ride Home

Interested in Club Ride but nervous about being stranded at work with no car? Don’t be. Our Guaranteed Ride Home program will get you where you need to go if an emergency happens. If you regularly carpool, take transit, vanpool, bicycle, or walk to work and an emergency happens, Club Ride will pay to get you back home, to your car, to a hospital, or to your child’s school. You can take a taxi, Uber, Lyft, use public transportation, rent a car (if the destination is more than 30 miles away and you are at least 25 years old with a driver’s license), or ask a co-worker to drive you.

Park & Ride Lots

If you are looking for a place to meet your carpool partners or a place to park your car and catch the bus to work, there are multiple Park & Ride options to choose from in the valley. Some of our transit centers also serve as Park & Ride facilities allowing you to park your car and continue your trip with all of the benefits of public transportation. Save money, reduce emissions, and save the wear and tear on your vehicle. Let us do the driving. See the Park & Ride Lots HERE.

More Information about Park & Ride Lots

There are two kinds of Park & Ride options:

RTC-Operated Park & Rides
These lots are available to carpoolers and transit riders. It's a good idea to register your vehicle with us if you plan to park there for more than just the day. You can do so by clicking here to download the Vehicle Information Form. Simply fill this out and present it to the security officer on-site at the park and ride lot. Please note that this form is also available on-site. If you plan to leave your vehicle for more than 14 days, please call (702) 676-1849 in advance to notify us of this extended parking request.
Retail Partner Park & Rides
The RTC partners with retail locations throughout the Valley to offer additional Park & Ride options that may be more convenient to commuters’ homes. These retail sites have “donated” a certain number of parking spots within the lot that have been marked with RTC Park & Ride signage.

To find a Park & Ride lot close to you, log into the Club Ride site and select the option for Park & Ride Match. Check back often as we are currently adding more lots.
