511 Mobility App

Plan multimodal trips, with options for biking, walking, transit, driving, and combinations of all four. Filter trips by timeframe, costs, walking distance, and wheelchair accessibility. Measure the positive impacts of your commuting choices through metrics showing CO2 reduction, money saved, calories burned, trips taken, and miles traveled.

Guaranteed Ride Home

People often wonder what they would do if a sudden emergency came up and they need to get somewhere quickly, but they rode the bus or bike to work. Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) has you covered. In the event of an emergency, eligible commuters can Uber, Lyft, or taxi to get home. GO Buffalo Niagara covers the cost of the ride up to $50/ride and $200/year.
