Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance

2009 Sustainable San Mateo County Award Winner.

The mission of the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance is to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles traveling in, to and through San Mateo County, reducing vehicle emissions resulting in improved air quality. Since 2000, the Alliance has reached more and more commuters through a diverse host of programs. More than 5,000 individuals have participated in carpools or vanpools and 17,000 have tried public transit through the Alliances Try Transit program. In 2008 alone, the Alliances shuttles carried roughly 430,000 passengers on its 19 shuttle bus routes, connecting commuters to/from BART and Caltrain stations to their places of employment. Nearly 300 employers representing 103,000 employees actively support Alliances programs.
