Back-to-school season changes everything on the road: earlier mornings, new routines, busier commutes, and more students and families walking, biking, rolling, and driving near schools. A little planning now can make your daily trip safer, smoother, and less stressful.

Give yourself extra time, stay alert in school zones, and consider whether this is the year to rethink your commute. From transit and carpooling to vanpooling, biking, and walking, GetThereOregon.org can help you find an option that works for your schedule—so you can spend less time in traffic and more time getting where you need to go.

We recently selected our July monthly winner for the Summer Commute Challenge, Katie Ford! We're excited to see so many community members participating in the challenge and helping take cars off the road.

Katie shared some of her thoughts with our team: "We love biking to the Old Mill so we never have to deal with parking. There are ample bike racks around the shops and amphitheater, making it convenient and safe to leave our bikes". 🚲🎵

Thank you, and congratulations, Katie!
