Smart Business Partnership

Making Smart Decisions About Transportation

The Rio Metro Regional Transit District and ABQ Ride is committed to encouraging greater use of alternative modes of transportation in order to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in central New Mexico. Our Smart Business Partnership Program provides area employers with tools and resources in creating awareness and incentives to using public transportation. Becoming a Smart Partner makes your organization a more attractive place to work, can save your organization money, and help the environment. It also makes it easier for your employees to get to work while spending less time and money stuck in traffic.

Everyone benefits when your business becomes a Smart Partner

We believe that everyone wins when commuters choose to use public transit. Area employers can easily create awareness and incentives to reduce the use of single occupant vehicles while improving their bottom line.
