Tips for Your Car-Free Diet
Carpool Traffic congestion, rising gas prices and increasing commute times can dramatically affect your wallet and stress levels. Carpooling is a great way to stick to your Car Free Diet and save money and time while commuting to and from work!
- Save money! Share driving and parking expenses with your fellow carpoolers.
- Save time! High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes help you get to work faster and if you are a passenger, you can use the car time for napping, reading or relaxing.
- Cleaner environment! Less cars on the road helps to lower emissions, lessen congestion and improve air quality.
For many, carpooling can seem like a big commitment, but it doesn’t have to be. You can incorporate carpooling into your every day activities such as, when dropping your children off at school; why not pick up the neighbor’s kids too. Or, when heading downtown for a day at the museums, swing by and pick up your friend heading in the same direction to share the ride. There are many options for joining or starting a carpool. Go to www.commuterpage.com/carpool.htm to learn more about the different ways to incorporate carpooling into your Car Free Diet. Businesses can also help and encourage employees create carpools or provide reduced parking costs to carpools.
