Smart commute week cookbook [7.3 MB Adobe PDF]

This cookbook is a document intended to guide other communities that are interested in hosting a local Smart Commute event. Smart Commute Week is a program that encourages 'smart' transportation including: walking, biking, carpooling, using public transportation, or any other form of transportation that does not include driving alone.

TART Trails hopes this cookbook will equip other municipalities with the tools and know-how to coordinate such an event. Spreading the joys of smart commuting to others is our main objective.

Smart Commute Week events happening throughout the State of Michigan are profiled on the new MIsmartcommute.org website. Traverse City's Smart Commute Week event is just one of the many Smart Commute events happening statewide.
