Changing How We Travel
ideas and resources
Work from home!
Reduce Car Travel Emissions
- Plan to walk, bike, carpool or use public transit for a route that you would normally drive. Walk the kids to school, cycle somewhere, take the bus to see a movie in Santa Monica, or carpool with a friend.
- If you drive a gas or diesel car, consider getting an EV.
