Rideshare
Wondering how to get started? First, you will need to create an account with the NH Rideshare Portal. Accounts within the portal are confidential and only the contact information you choose will be distributed to other users looking for carpooling matches.
Once your account is created, you will need to submit your commuting route and preferences to be matched up with other commuters in your area. You then have the choice to contact who you’d like to commute with and see if they’re a good fit.
Ridesharing can save you money, reduce wear and tear on your vehicle, reduce road congestion, and limit your environmental impact. Not to mention enjoying the company during your commute!
Team up with your co-workers, neighbors, family members, or friends and start carpooling! Don’t know where to start? Check out NH Rideshare’s free ride matching service for regular commutes or a one-time trip.

Walk
Walking is a central component of a multimodal transportation system. Walking is part of virtually every trip, including trips by car and by transit. Many communities in the Nashua region are wakable and these conditions mean that people are willing to walk short distances to transit stops (where transit is available). Walking can also be substituted for short-distance automobile trips and it also contributes to the quality of community life and to personal well-being.

Telecommute
Telecommuting, or working from home or a remote location, is an increasingly popular option that not only cuts all costs and time spent on commuting, but can also improve your job satisfaction and productivity. Whether it be every day, once or twice a week, occasionally, or in emergency situations, telecommuting might be the right choice for you!
Some of the benefits include:
- Increased productivity
- Improve job satisfaction
- Reduce stress
- Employees work during peak performance times
- Reduce the demand for parking and office space
- Reduce wear and tear on commuting vehicle
- Reduce commuting costs
- Decrease traffic congestion and air pollution
Public Transit
Breathing fresh air, driving safely, being physically active, and avoiding excessive stress are a few of the benefits of riding public transit:
- Buses produce less pollution than cars per passenger mile,
- Bus related accidents have one-twentieth the passenger fatality rates of automobile travel.
- Individuals who use public transportation get over three times the amount of physical activity per day of those who don’t by walking to stops and final destinations.

These modes of travel are efficient, affordable, healthy and environmentally sound, and their increased usage will provide more transportation choices, a more complete local and regional transportation system, and contribute to more vibrant and attractive communities.
