The Love your Commute program is a City of Roanoke initiative designed to help employees reduce drive-alone trips by encouraging the use of transit, biking, walking, carpooling, and vanpooling. The goal is to make commuting more affordable, healthier, and environmentally friendly.

The program is open to all City of Roanoke employees. More information will be sent to you soon about program benefits, with directions on how to participate.

The Love Your Commute program supports the City of Roanoke’s sustainability goals by:

• Employees take a pledge to try a clean commute option.
• Participants track their trips using the ConnectingVA app.
• Progress and participation will be shared through weekly updates.
• The program will run in the spring of 2026.

No worries! The program will provide:

• Help identifying bus routes and schedules (Valley Metro, Metro Flx, VMGo)
• Guidance on finding carpool partners
• Bicycle commuting resources, including “how-to” information and bike routes

This is a pilot program for the City of Roanoke that will run during spring 2026. City leadership will evaluate participation and the impact to sustainability goals, along with employee feedback, to determine the next steps and continuation of this program.

Keep an eye out for program emails, posters, and announcements. You’ll be able to sign up, take the pledge, and receive helpful guidance to Love Your Commute. Look for more information to come.
