If you drove 10 miles less each week for a year, you could save about $75 in gas and reduce climate pollution by 485 pounds.
There are plenty of other ways to travel! Walking and biking, of course, have the added benefit of improving your cardiovascular help and burning calories. You can also ride the bus or carpool.
Here are some tools to help you “curb your car”:
- AATA Bus — Visit www.theride.org for routes and schedules
- Michigan RideShare — car- and vanpool matching services for people living in Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties
- Telecommuting — learn more at the GetDowntown website
Driving Smart: Did you know that inflating your tires once a month improves your fuel economy (i.e., saves you gas money!) and reduces your car’s CO2 emissions by 29 pounds per month?
