How you get to and from work can have a big impact on the environment. While walking and biking to work is the greenest option, it’s not the most appealing method in grips of a -20 temperature snap (I like to call these two-toque days). Using public transportation is a great option for those who live farther away and don’t need to bring their vehicle to work. Some workplaces offer employee discounts or subsities on public transit, so this could be worth checking in to. However, even at the regular price, a bus pass is often much cheaper than insurance, fuel, and auto maintenance.
If you need your vehicle on-site while at work, why not carpool with others? Carpool.ca is a great database of would-be drivers and passengers throughout Edmonton and area. Just think, you can meet new people, save on gas, and help the environment all during your morning commute! If you’re the lucky driver, you can check out Transport Canada’s tips to “green up” your travels here.
