or become a one car household
 

Have you been looking for a way to reduce your transportation costs or reduce your carbon footprint?

Getting rid of one of the personal cars in your household will help you do both.
Fortunately, Palo Alto has several ways to get around town without driving a personal vehicle:​

​

​

• Caltrain

• VTA bus (serves Santa Clara County)

• SamTrans bus (serves San Mateo County and portions of San Francisco & Palo Alto)

• Dumbarton Express bus (serves riders in the East Bay to the Peninsula)

• Marguerite shuttle

• Palo Alto Link (runs Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm)

• Rent a car for a few hours or a day (see map below)

• After-hours Lyft service

• Bike/E-scooter (Palo Alto bike map, Mid-Peninsula Bike Map, BikeLove rewards)

• VTA's Guaranteed Ride Home

• VTA's vanpool subsidy
