Why Smart Commute?
We all want an easier commute to work and home with less stress and traffic congestion. We also want a better
environment with less traffic noise and cleaner air to breathe. And we can have this if we commute the smart
way.
Smart Commute Markham, Richmond Hill is a transportation management association (TMA) managed by the Markham and
Richmond Hill Boards of Trade, and funded by York Region and the cities of Markham and Richmond Hill. The
association promotes and facilitates “smart” commuting methods.
What We Mean by “Smart Commute”?
There are lots of choices so try a few and see which one suits you best.
Smart commuting can include walking and biking to and from work, taking public transit, carpooling and teleworking.
You may even want to combine a few commute options such as cycling to work in the summer and taking public
transit in the winter or carpooling to work and then using public transit for the commute home. However you
decide to smart commute, we’re certain you’ll like it better than fighting traffic twice a day!

Being a smart commuter can give you a better work-life balance plus leave a little more of your pay cheque in
your pocket.

to work every day. When you smart commute, you think about what is best for you and for the environment.
Then, you make a change. Traffic congestion is reduced and everyone benefits including our future
commuters. It’s up to you to make it happen!
