Earth Day 2008: Invest in Your Planet – Ride Public Transit

NYPTA Member Earth Day Activities 

Earth Day 2008 is April 22.  At a time of heightened environmental and energy concerns, many of you may be asking yourselves what you can do personally on Earth Day and every day to insure a sustainable environment for future generations.  The best answer to that question may be right outside your front door or just down the block – public transportation.

Public transportation use is one of the most effective actions you can take to actively promote sustainable environments and communities.  Public transportation offers an immediate alternative for individuals seeking to reduce their energy use and carbon footprints.  What’s a carbon footprint? It’s a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced.  Reducing your individual carbon footprint reduces greenhouse gases and improves the environment.

New York's transit systems provide flexible mobility options for riders throughout the State—from the tip of Long Island, up through the Hudson Valley regions, in rural communities throughout the northern and central sections of the State, and all the way over to the western reaches of Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

Each day New York's transit systems carry people to jobs, shopping centers, healthcare, schools, tourist locations—and many other places in your community. By alleviating congestion, reducing vehicle emissions, and supporting a mobile society, transit benefits everyone across the State, both riders and non-riders. 

The New York Public Transit Association (NYPTA) is a not for profit association devoted to advancing and supporting public transit providers and transportation development in New York State.
