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.

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
