Sustainable Transportation

Go Manitoba

Register today to connect with like-minded people, share your commute, save time, money and reduce congestion.

GoManitoba's goal is to bring sustainable, healthy commuting options to all Manitobans. Its purpose is to ease travel by helping to facilitate carpools, promote public transit use where available, and match bike and walk mentors. It is a quick, secure, and personal way to find your commuting options, simply using your home and work (or other destination) addresses.

GoMantioba is a province-wide platform that connects individuals from multiple workplaces, organizations and communities. Choose to commute with others from your workplace or campus, or those who are simply travelling on the same route as you.

We also offer workplaces, organizations and municipalities the opportunity to create custom sub-sites, allowing you to have a dedicated portal for your employees, students or residents, and the ability to access commuting data and offer rewards for using the system to reduce or eliminate the number of people driving alone.

A new way to approach commuting

Previously, workplaces around Winnipeg and across Manitoba would try to find carpool matches for their employees in one of two ways: by paying for a subscription to an online ridematching program or by coordinating their own matching database for employees. The result to date has been poor uptake and few matches, and minimal success in moving individuals from their current commuting choice of driving alone to a more sustainable mode choice such as carpooling, transit, cycling or walking.

What if all of these employers used the same ridematching system?

With GoManitoba we have one, unified ridematching system for all Manitobans to access, along with customized and individually managed sub-sites for workplaces to offer to their employees. By coordinating a central system where users can seek out matches either through their workplace or the entire region, the opportunities for success in finding a match are substantially increased.

GoManitoba is available to businesses and organizations as a white-labelled service.

Cut down your carbon footprint

Where we're headed

We are thrilled to see the program active in Manitoba! We worked with 10 founding partners that stepped forward to support bringing the ridematching technology to Manitoba. We branded the program as GoManitoba, with the official public launch in the fall of 2018.

What's Next?

We have hit the road this fall to recruit employer and/or municipal sub-sites across the province. GoManitoba can fill an important gap and will help expand transportation options in all communities, especially where public and active transportation options are more limited. See GoManitoba Answers Commuting Call in Rural Manitoba for more details. The next few years will involve a growing awareness of the program as we coordinate promotional campaigns to bring more Manitobans onto the site.

Do you want to bring GoManitoba to your workplace with a dedicated, custom sub-site? Contact us at GoHappy@greenactioncentre.ca or call 204-925-3777 (ext. 107) to get started.
