FREE & LOW COST ACTIONS
Approach your tasks in a purposeful way…
Finding ways to reduce the frequency of commuting takes a little planning. These actions cost little or no money up front, save money that would have been spent on fuel and vehicle maintenance in the long-term, and improve our health.
Plan ahead:
work from home as much as possible
find alternative ways to get there with the North Shore TMA tool
carpool to work or school
consolidate your errands to reduce the number of trips and distance driven
shop local rather than at malls further away
Walk more:
invest in good walking shoes/boots
invest in good wind/rain/snow coat
give yourself more time to walk downtown or the nearby strip-mall
walk to your closest convenience store rather than driving for a few items
walk your child to school or a friend’s house
If walking doesn’t work, get around with a:
bike (Centraal Cycle, Beverly Bikes, Parlee Cycles)
scooter
skateboard (Nowhere Fast)
Other:
attend a Beverly Bike Committee meeting (they are open to the pubic)
use local bike paths; know where the bike lanes are
turn off your vehicle’s engine when idling or parked in a parking space
