Smart Commute Markham, Richmond Hill is a workplace travel program of York Region, in partnership with the Cities of Markham and Richmond Hill. We operate as a Transportation Management Association managed by the Markham and Richmond Hill Boards of Trade.

​

We connect Markham and Richmond Hill workplace employees with sustainable commute options that meet their needs. In collaboration with employers, local municipalities, and partners, we deliver innovative, cost-efficient Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies that contribute to employer business and sustainability goals and local policy priorities. 

​

We are a group of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) professionals, who aim to provide our expert advice with custom programs and TDM tools to commuters who are going from A to B – be it a work commute, a school drop-off, or running errands – explore and try out smart travel options such as walking, cycling, transit, and carpooling.

​

The Smart Commute Workplace Program has shown great success throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), where employees from Smart Commute workplaces drive alone nearly 19.2% less than the average commuter (Transportation Tomorrow Survey, 2016).
