About Us

Go Mountain's mission is to connect Western North Carolina through transportation options that reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and encourage safer streets for all. That includes walking, biking, carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, and even telework. It's not just about commuting, it's any trip that gets you from point A to point B!

We are a program of the Land of Sky Regional Council, covering the regions of the French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Land of Sky Rural Planning Organization. We serve Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania Counties.

What We Do

Go Mountain connects people to multimodal transportation resources through programs, outreach, events, and education.

We partner with employers, campuses, nonprofits, local governments, clubs, and individuals to reduce transportation barriers and expand access to transportation options.

We provide commuter assistance, transportation education, employer programs, vanpool support, safe routes initiatives, community events, and resources that make it easier to choose transportation options beyond driving alone.

While commuting is a major focus of our work, transportation is about more than getting from one place to another. The ways we move connect us to jobs, schools, services, recreation, and one another. We believe better transportation helps make Western North Carolina a healthier, safer, and more connected place to live, work, learn, and play.
