The Fifth Spare the Air Day of the Year
Tomorrow is the fifth of six Spare the Air days. Transit agencies recently added three more days to this year's program. What that means is more free rides for everybody! So, keep your car home or leave it at the nearest park and ride and take a bus, train or ferry to work (or wherever it is you usually spend the day). I missed Monday's Spare the Air day because I was carpooling, but I'm not planning on missing it tomorrow.
If you aren't able to take advantage of the free commute, there are still things you can do to help prevent smog tomorrow. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District recommends:- carpooling or vanpooling;
- telecommuting;
- and refueling in the evening.
