About Us

Go Mountain Commuting is all about moving people in Western North Carolina. We are a program of the Land of Sky Regional Council, which serves Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania Counties.

Go Mountain's mission is to build momentum and community around transportation options that reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and create safer streets for all. That includes walking, biking, carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, and even telework. It's not just about commuting, it's any trip that gets you from point A to point B!

One-third of Americans don't have a driver's license, according to the US Department of Transportation. Whether they're too old, too young, disabled, disadvantaged, or car-free by choice, that's a significant portion of the population. At Go Mountain, we know if we can change our mobility landscape to serve those people, we're serving all people.

What We Do

Go Mountain connects people to multimodal transportation resources through programs, outreach, events, and education.

We work with employers, campuses, nonprofits, local governments, clubs, and individuals to try to reduce transportation barriers and increase access.

While much of our focus is on commuting, we also recognize that how people move has the potential to be a source of joy, and we take every opportunity to spread that! We believe every trip taken is an opportunity to connect and build the future we want, and to make Western North Carolina a better place to live, work, learn, and play.
