On Wednesday, May 14, the streets of Glendale came alive with the energy of cyclists and community spirit for Bike to Work Day 2025! The annual celebration of sustainable commuting brought together residents and commuters who chose two wheels over four to get where they needed to go.
Go Glendale is hosting a virtual campaign to highlight the beauty of transit with a transit-friendly destination guide. Participate by April 30 for the chance to win a Kindle Digital Reader, $30-$50 gift cards, a cooler backpack, and a bike kit gift basket.
Throughout October 2024, Go Glendale administered their annual Commute Survey. The Commute Survey serves as a way to gather helpful data on how residents and employees of our member sites travel to work. This allows us to understand the commuting trends within our membership, including why residents and employees choose their commute type and what would encourage a switch to a mode which is more sustainable. Go Glendale will use the data and feedback gathered to implement strategies, including educational resources and events, to encourage more efficient transportation options like carpooling, public transit, or cycling, ultimately serving our mission to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality, accessibility, and mobility.
On June 2nd, Go Glendale organized a Downtown Glendale Urban Art Walk to discuss the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) for Glendale. We have created a map of the route to allow people to take a self-paced tour of Urban Art at the intersection of mobility and climate resilience.
We hope that the Urban Art Walk will help you explore the city with a greater awareness of Glendale’s urban environment and opportunities for walking, biking and taking transit to your favorite places downtown.
We are always open to hearing your thoughts on the CAAP and have a series of questions and polls posted on our Instagram Stories highlights under “CAAP Feedback”. Leave a comment to be entered into a raffle to win one of two $25 gift cards to Salt & Straw! š¦

In 2023, a significant number of individuals resumed in-person work routines more consistently. With the decrease in telework, this year’s Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR) survey reveals Ā a promising uptick in sustainable commuting modes and transit as opposed to a mass transition back to single-occupancy vehicles. Throughout October, Go Glendale collaborated with the City of Glendale to conduct an AVR survey across our ten member properties in Downtown Glendale. For one week, we asked you about your commute routines, your thoughts on public transportation, and ideas on what changes could make sustainable commutes to and from Glendale even easier. Go Glendale then analyzed and summarized these results, bringing you the final results in this post.
Explore how commuting in Glendale has evolved, comparing the data with the findings from 2022!
As a note, the Average Vehicle Ridership is a ratio of the number of employee/resident trips over the number of vehicle trips. The higher the ratio, the fewer vehicle trips are being taken in comparison to all trips.
