Minimize Construction Delays with TravelWise

UDOT understands that roadway construction can present a challenge for businesses and commuters. Fortunately, there are things you can do to decrease commute times, reduce congestion and improve employee morale. UDOT encourages businesses to actively engage in the TravelWise program, which consists of transportation strategies and alternatives to driving alone and provides commuters with methods to reduce the impacts construction has on their travel time.

TravelWise strategies include:

• Shift Travel Times: Shifting commute and delivery route times away from the peak traffic hours - particularly the afternoon peak between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. - can significantly reduce travel times during construction.
• Vanpool, carpool: Carpools and vanpools reduce transportation costs for employees and take cars of the road, improving everyone's commute. Learn more at UTArideshare.com.
• Telecommute: Employees can avoid the traffic headache altogether by working from home one or more days per week. You can also hold teleconferences instead of driving to and from meetings.
• Transit: Express buses and local bus routes are a good option for many Utah County commuters. Learn more at rideuta.com.
• Active transportation: Take advantage of spring and summer weather and walk or bike to work.

Developing a TravelWise Construction Plan

Your business can plan ahead for I-15 CORE construction and create a successful TravelWise plan by following these steps:

1. Identify a TravelWise coordinator or implementation taskforce to oversee the program.
2. Conduct a participant survey (provided by the TravelWise team) to determine interest.
3. Design your program to fit best with participant interests. To get started, visit www.travelwise.utah.gov or click on the brochures below.
4. Promote your TravelWise program through newsletters, emails, on a website, etc.
5. Track participation and effectiveness of the program through a mid-construction survey. Make any necessary adjustments.
6. Contact us with any questions or concerns along the way.
