Hey, Greater Lansing! Did you know we partnered with CATA - Capital Area Transportation Authority to promote commute alternatives, such as public transit and eco-friendly options? This initiative aims to lower regional emissions and ease congestion. 🚲🚍

Here are some of our favorite ways you can take action:

💨 When you can, take the bus, carpool, or share a ride; this reduces traffic congestion and pollution.
💨 Ride your bike or walk instead of driving; this cuts emissions and congestion while helping you maintain a healthy lifestyle!
💨 Regularly maintain your car; simple upkeep can improve gas mileage.

Visit mitcrpc.org/air to learn more tips and tricks about what you can do, sign up for air quality alerts, and learn more about CATA's route options.

It is officially back-to-school season! 🚦🛣️

That means more congestion and busier roads. Always share the road with young pedestrians, school buses, and bicyclists.

Here are some safety tips we like to share:

🚶‍♂️ Take extra care to watch for children in school zones, near playgrounds and parks, and in all residential areas.
🚌 Never pass a school bus from behind – or from either direction if you're on an undivided road – when it is stopped to load or unload children.
🚲 When passing a bicyclist, proceed slowly in the same direction and leave 3 feet between your car and the cyclist.
