Driving to work can be tedious, polluting and costly. You can save thousands of dollars annually by leaving the car at home and busing, biking, or vanpooling. There are even chances to win prizes through the Commuter Challenge. But the best reward of all is seeing the community from a new perspective.

Walking
Walking is free, healthy, and a good way to see the neighborhood. Local clubs, routes, hikes, and more can be found at the Minnesota Walking site. For children who need to get to school, see our kid’s section for walking programs. The group Transit for Livable Communities has pedestrian statistics, a history of walking in the area, and community events to get commuters on their feet.
