Easy Green: Public Transit

Public Transit is an easy way to make your daily routine more green. But how can public transit providers make transportation itself more green? Click Here to read more.

Switching to public transit can reduce your daily carbon emissions by 20 pounds; that’s more than 4,800 pounds a year!

That's more than all of these combined:

using energy-efficient light bulbs
adjusting thermostats
weatherizing your home
using a high efficiency refrigerator

Did You Know?

94% of public assistance recipients do not own cars and often rely on public transportation to meet their mobility needs.
