The RoundTrip program of the Greater Madison MPO has upgraded their online platform to help local commuters connect with convenient alternatives to driving alone. The free platform features a private UW-Madison RoundTrip network for employees or students who want to ride, bike, or walk together for daily commutes and one-time trips.
RoundTrip’s ride matching platform allows commuters to explore affordable, sustainable transportation options including carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling, and public transit. Features of the new platform include a multimodal trip planner with ride matching capabilities, a RideBoard for one-time trips, a personalized dashboard, and incentives programs. The online platform is also accessible in Spanish and Hmong.
For additional access options, users can download the CommuteTracker mobile app by RideAmigos for Android or iOS to access trip planning features and trip logging for incentives programs.

Curious about carpooling to campus?
Carpooling is a great way to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicle trips to campus. UW Transportation Services operates a carpool program with benefits and incentives for carpool members.
RoundTrip is one way for UW employees to locate other carpool members. Two or more employees who drive together most of the time can register a carpool, and three or more can apply for a UW carpool permit. Carpool permit applications get top priority during the annual permit application process. Learn about the benefits of the UW-Madison carpool program and how to apply.
