Gas prices getting you down? We’ve got you covered with four ways to be fuel frugal.
Get stepping
Richmond is rated as “51 — Somewhat Walkable” on Walk Score, which means it’s time to break out your walking shoes and give it a go. Ditch the drive and embark on these top walkable hiking trails (or, for a walk with a side of history, check out these walking tours). 👟
Break out the bikes
Enjoy pedaling down the Virginia Capital Trail, which starts at Great Ship-lock Park and extends all the way to historic Jamestown Settlement. Or, stop by Re-Cycles Bike Shop at 2621 W. Cary St, and don’t forget that the Science Museum of Virginia has a free bicycle repair station.

Public transit is legit
Getting around Richmond is made easy with a plethora of bus routes — GRTC is also zero fare, including the Pulse (which runs from Willow Lawn to Rocketts Landing). Pro tip: download the GRTC app to make riding even easier.
Get creative with your commute
Hunt down the best gas prices by using an app like GasBuddy or Google Maps. Split the bill by starting a carpool with your coworkers + get the perks of riding in the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes. Looking to find a carpool? Try Ridesharing to find or post a ride.
