Built by people who believe commutes should count.
Commutrics started in a research lab at the University of Colorado Denver, and grew into a platform connecting commuters, employers, and communities to make sustainable transportation easier, more rewarding, and more measurable.
Promote sustainability in transportation choices.
Connect commuters, employers, and transportation organizations in one place to measure commute impact and support healthier, more productive, and more sustainable mobility by giving individuals and organizations the information they need to make informed choices.
A world where sustainable commuting is the norm.
We want to be the go-to platform for organizations looking to maximize sustainability and reduce environmental impact, empowering businesses to make a positive difference for the environment while reducing costs at the same time.
From a research lab to a platform.
Commutrics began with a question: how do you actually make sustainable commuting easier, more rewarding, and more measurable? Here's how we got from there to here.
It started at CU Denver
A group of professors and researchers at the University of Colorado Denver came together around a shared belief: commuting is one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions and air pollution, and the tools to do something about it weren't keeping up. With backgrounds in civil engineering, operations research, and AI, and a focus on sustainability in the built environment, they set out to change that.
Research became a product
Years of academic research turned into the models and algorithms that power Commutrics today, connecting commuters with real-time options, personalized incentives, and clear measurement of cost, emissions, and health impact. The team's commitment to keeping the platform accessible and affordable shaped every decision along the way.
Today & what's next
Commutrics is now used by employers, campuses, business districts, and municipalities to design, run, and measure smarter commute programs. We're building the platform we wished existed when we started, one that makes sustainable commuting visible, comparable, and worth doing for everyone involved.
Built on peer-reviewed research.
Commutrics' development has been supported by grants from leading institutions and government agencies, including more than $800K dedicated specifically to bringing the platform to market. The work has also produced 10+ peer-reviewed journal articles and 15+ peer-reviewed conference articles on transportation demand management, mode choice, and sustainability.
