Living/working in Bellevue and just can’t seem to figure out how to get around? There’s no need to wait any longer because Transmanage, the transportation arm of the Bellevue Downtown Association, recently launched Choose Your Way Bellevue – CYWB – (chooseyourwaybellevue.org).
The site provide resources to those who:
- Bike & Walk
- Bus
- Carpool
- Flex
- Ferry
- Rail
- Vanpool
For each option, CYWB provides all the resources around it and answers some very useful questions that you might have. The resources here are for everyone – employers, students, parents, those wanting to get to work, and those just looking to meander Downtown Bellevue and see the awesomeness (yes, I just said awesomeness) of the city!
While most of the resources are from other organizations (Sound Transit, Washington State DOT, King County Metro, Flexcar), we were very impressed to see how it’s all laid out.
The Commute Cost Calculator on the site, offered to help us determine how much we were paying per month and year. We each learned how much using alternate means of travel could save us annually, which was neat! Some of the maps are outdated, so some of the pathways may not actually be available for bikes, walking, etc. Hopefully CYWB can let us know what alternate routes exist.
Overall, we found the site useful.
