About Us

pointA (pointa.ca) is a non-profit that envisions sustainable transportation options for everyone. Our goal is to connect people to the places they want to go. We aim to give people and businesses transportation options that benefit the environment, the economy, and the well-being of our communities. In collaboration with our funders, partners, and clients, we facilitate transportation demand management (TDM) programs to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles on the road and to encourage commuters to try more sustainable modes of transportation such as cycling, walking, and public transportation.

Our core activities include developing, launching, and monitoring TDM programs for medium- to large- sized organizations primarily through the Smart Commute program. We promote a menu of options for commuters, such as transit, ride-matching, shuttle buses, vanpooling, telecommuting, cycling, and walking.
