Smart Trips

Smart Trips Austin, a partnership between the City of Austin and Capital Metro, is a yearly program designed to help residents use sustainable transportation solutions (biking, walking, carpooling, and using transit or other mobility options) and reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips in Austin. Ghisallo Cycling Initiative executed the 2019 Smart Trips Austin Eastside program as the community engagement partner. Covering a program area of 24,000 households over the span of 5-months, we hosted 4 beginning city cycling clinics, 14 bike rides, 7 walking tours, and 5 multi-modal events. Our team partnered with over 20 community groups and organizations, as well as provided one-on-one personalized support and educational resources to individuals and families.
