There are many alternatives to driving alone, including taking transit, ride-sharing, alternative work schedules, working from home, and more. PennDOT and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) have teamed up to help you find the best way to get to work during construction, and after. Better commutes mean better work at the office or site! Click here or contact DVRPC’s Office of Commuter Benefits to learn more.
Our region's transportation management associations (TMAs) are administering components the DVRPC's Mobility Alternatives Program (MAP) that will help employers and employees find creative ways to get to work on time, and back home again.
