Bike, Walk, Carpool to Work Week Taking Place Across Connecticut
CTrides notes that Americans spend an average of 47 hours per year sitting in rush-hour traffic, and public transit is viewed as 170 times safer than automobile travel.
CTrides is urging commuters to carpool, vanpool, take buses or trains, walk, bike or telecommute instead of driving alone to work - for at least a day during the week of May 13-17.
CTrides is not alone in advocating alternate transportation – and the benefits of leaving the car in the driveway, or sharing the ride into work.
BikeWalk Connecticut is urging people to step outside their vehicles - May 8 was National Bike to School Day, and May 17 is National Bike to Work Day.
