VANPOOL

Vanpools offer tremendous savings over commuting alone–the typical person saves more than $5,000 a year. Vanpooling is a great option for long-distance commutes of 15 miles or more. 

CARPOOL

A carpool is simply two or more people sharing a ride to work. Since carpool partners generally split the cost of their commute, carpooling saves money while reducing harmful emissions. 

BUS

Riding the bus helps improve our community’s health, mobility and equality. Taking the bus over commuting alone helps reduces air pollution and road congestion. If you live in a rural area, consider using a nearby Park & Ride to catch a bus.  

FERRY

Kitsap Tranist's passenger-only foot ferries can get you there in half the time. Our Fast Ferries connect Kingston, Bremerton and Southworth to downtown Seattle. Our local foot ferries offer service between Port Orchard and Bremerton, a great way to beat the Gorst traffic.  

BIKE/WALK

Biking is an excellent option for people living within seven miles of their workplace. Click here to learn more about our biking options.

Walking might be the best option for those living less than three miles from their workplace.

Guaranteed Ride
Home Program

SCOOT
 

The mission of the SCOOT Program is to encourage commuters who work in targeted areas in Kitsap County to use alternatives to driving to work alone by offering a ‘smart option’ for personal errands.
