Transportation Tips
One of the most important ways you affect your environment is by the transportation you choose to use. Riding in a car - especially by yourself - puts large amounts of gases into the atmosphere. These gases are responsible for smog, global warming and other kinds of pollution. Automobiles are also in large part responsible for urban sprawl, loss of communities and other detrimental land-use patterns. Ann Arbor is well equipped for non-automobile transportation, which is especially fortunate since parking and driving are not easy here!
- Walk, bike or rollerblade! These ways of getting around are healthy, good for the environment and easy for campus life.
- If you must, take the bus or carpool. For longer distances (such as to the airport), you can always find a ride or share a cab.
- When stopped in traffic or at a light, turn off your car rather than idling. You will save fuel and reduce emissions.
