Congratulations to Patty Bennington from ADX Labs, our most recent winner of the monthly pledge drawing for a $150 Visa gift card. Patty pledged to telework and bike to work – and, it turns out, she takes transit, too!

“Having multiple options to get downtown have made my commute easier by allowing me to choose the option that works best for me each day,” she said. “Biking is probably my favorite … because it gives me a chance to enjoy being outside before and after work.”

đź’š World Mental Health Day is tomorrow, October 10

This year’s theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” is a reminder that listening matters—and that people with lived experience of mental health conditions deserve a meaningful voice in shaping the services, support, and decisions that affect their lives.

At Commuter Services, we know that well-being is influenced by many parts of our daily lives, including how we get to work. Traffic, long commutes, and daily congestion can add stress, while finding a commute that works better for you may create more room to breathe.

This World Mental Health Day, consider a small change that supports your well-being:

🚍 Try transit. Let someone else handle the driving while you relax, read, or listen to music.

🚲 Walk or bike. Add movement and fresh air to your day when possible.

đźš— Explore carpooling. Share the drive, connect with others, and take turns behind the wheel.

🏡 Talk about flexibility. If your job allows, explore teleworking or a schedule that better supports your needs.

💬 Speak up and listen. Share what would make your commute and workday less stressful—and make space for others to share their experiences, too.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health or commuting. The best solutions start by listening to people and understanding what works for them.

💚 Your well-being matters. Let’s make space for real voices, better support, and healthier ways to get where we’re going.

Disconnect to Reconnect: Why Taking a Break from Technology Matters

When was the last time you really disconnected?

Not just closed your laptop, but stepped away from the notifications, scrolling and constant stream of information? Taking a break from technology can do more than give your eyes a rest. It can help reduce stress, get you moving, improve focus and create a little more breathing room in your day.

Here are some simple—and a few less-obvious—ways to unplug.

September was just the start.

This month, you may have tried a new way to get around—walking, biking, transit, carpooling, teleworking or simply combining trips.

Keep the one that worked.

One less solo drive.
One more bike ride.
One more bus trip.
One more shared ride.

Small changes can become new habits.

What will you carry forward from Car-Free September?

Celebrating bike commuter and teleworker Sam Gallagher!

Congratulations to Sam Gallagher from the City of Hopkins, who received a $150 Visa gift card after her name was drawn for one of our monthly commuter pledge drawings. She pledged to telework and bike to work, and enjoys doing both!

Did you try going car-free yesterday?

Maybe you walked or biked, took transit, shared a ride or worked remotely.

Whatever you did, you changed your routine.

Was there a part of your car-free trip that you actually enjoyed?
Keep that part going.

World Car-Free Day may be one day—but a better commute can be an everyday choice.
