Find out how driving less can help you live more freely.
There are plenty of ways to get where you need to go without driving there alone. You can ride TheBus or Skyline; join a carpool; hop on a bike, skateboard, or scooter; or try walking if you live nearby. You can even mix and match these options, like biking to a bus stop to catch TheBus to a Skyline station.
Instead of spending time driving through traffic, you can relax with a book or some music while you ride public transit or participate in a carpool. Or you can choose an active mode of transportation like walking, biking, scooting, or skateboarding to increase your daily exercise. You’ll decrease your stress, save money, and likely save time if you’re riding Skyline during rush hour. When you optimize your commute, you optimize your entire day!
Driving a car five days a week is much more expensive than other transportation options. Just think of how much you pay each month on gas, parking, car insurance, car maintenance, and more! By driving just a day less per week, you can reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and lower fuel expenses. And if you trade in your car keys for a HOLO card, you can save thousands of dollars each year by riding TheBus and Skyline.

In Honolulu, over 50% of commuters drive alone, even though many of them live within a short distance of work. This contributes to air pollution, road congestion, and increases in traffic incidents.
When you choose to get around without a car, you’re reducing traffic congestion and lowering harmful emissions in your neighborhood. Fewer cars on the road mean cleaner air, safer streets, and less noise for everyone.
We are the City and County of Honolulu’s transportation demand management (TDM) program, bringing multiple City initiatives together to improve the effectiveness of local transit, reduce traffic congestion, and offer equitable travel options to commuters. We’re focused on creating community-driven solutions that enhance safe and reliable access to multimodal transportation.
