Green Works LIFE

Transportation

Transportation is one of the the largest causes of green house gas emissions. Although public transportation may not be an option for everyone there are plenty of other ways to reduce your footprint.

Driving Greener

Driving Green: Increase you MPG, save gas and save money with these tips from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Electric Vehicles: ChargePoint America Kickoff at Orlando City Hall

Carpool and Vanpool: By engaging in a program sponsored by LYNX or starting one of your own, carpooling and vanpooling reduces the amount of cars on the road and allow you to commute with neighbors without sacrificing flexibility and comfort. Your place of work could even financially benefit from a program. Visit LYNX Commuter Programs for more information on how to get started.

Car-Sharing - Pay a small hourly fee or an annual membership and have the advantages of access to an automobile without the cost of a car loan, insurance, maintenance, and registration! Click here to learn more about car-sharing programs.

Alternative Transportation Options

Bicycling: As a Bicycle Friendly Community, the City of Orlando provides education, resources and outreach. For more information, bike maps, parking, and safety tips click here.
