Transportation
The transportation option you choose is one of the most important ways you impact your environment. The gases responsible for smog and global warming are emitted every time you jump in the car. Trucks and automobiles can also contribute to urban sprawl, loss of communities, and wasteful land-use patterns.
Ann Arbor is well equipped for non-automotive transportation and the University promotes green transportation: walking, biking, and using buses. Both University and city buses are either hybrids or run on a biodiesel fuel mixture and you can ride for free with your U-M ID card.
