Why Commuters Need a Survival Guide

Traffic on Oahu is rising at an alarming rate. The number of registered vehicles on the road has almost doubled in the past 20 years as has the number of motor vehicles per mile of street or highway. This situation makes gridlock an everyday occurrence.

We are waiting longer in traffic, wasting precious gasoline reserves and polluting our environment. Traffic will only get worse unless we do something about it.

We can start by focusing on transportation demand management measures like moving workers to suburban areas which will reduce the need for commuting long distances and by encouraging ridesharing which uses fewer vehicles to transport more people.

The following transportation alternatives will help to make your commute less stressful. For more information, call the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Office at 692-7695.

Happy Commuting!
