Welcome to Smart Commute
Halton Municipalities
The Smart Commute program provides tools and resources to support and incentivize cycling, walking,
carpooling, public transit, and alternative working arrangements (e.g., remote work) as sustainable
options for commuting.
Through this customized, year-round program, your workplace employees can commute more sustainably,
reducing their parking demand and commuting costs, and helping you attract and retain key talent.
Smart Commute Halton Municipalities is serviced by
pointA, a non-profit that has been helping
businesses commute more sustainably for more than 20 years.
