Overview Although many people believe the cause of air pollution is industry, it’s actually you and me

Transit To help you get started check out the Tri-Met website & route map

Bicycling National experts recommend 20 minutes of moderate daily exercise to improve your cardiovascular health

Walking To stay healthy, doctors recommend exercising at least 30 minutes each day, or even just three times a week

Trip Chaining Trip chaining – combining errands into one sensible trip – is just one of the many actions you can take, and probably are taking, that help improve the quality of the air you breathe

Non-Road Sources These pollutants cause smog that leads to chronic illnesses such as eye irritation, asthma and headaches

Commuter Choice Commuter Choice makes great sense. With these new changes in the Internal Revenue Code, there is now a great way to provide employees with a cost-effective, value-added benefit

Household Products Cars and trucks are the single biggest source of smog in the Portland area, but Household Products and other Consumer Products comprise 21 percent of the problem

Maintenance There are other things you can do more often that save you money, add longevity to your car and keep the air cleaner

CarSharing Flexcar takes care of the insurance, the maintenance, and even the gas

Carpool Share with two people and you can slash your cost of driving to and from work by 67%
