Think helping the environment can't save you money? Think again. You may think being green costs more, but green commute options help preserve the environment and keep more green in your pocket. Have you ever considered sharing the ride by carpooling or vanpooling? When you share the ride you not only decrease your carbon footprint, you also share expenses with other commuters-- that can save you a lot of green!
Wondering how much you can save? Here's a testimonial from one of our vanpoolers:
"Our commuter van just turned over 80,000 miles. Most people are trading their vehicle at about the 80,000-mile figure. (What does a new car cost these days anyway?) According to IRS mileage calculations, driving my car to work every day would have cost me more or less $46,800. The commuter van works out to 1,142 round trips to work, which means I spent approximately $5,985 instead of the $46,800. Ye gads, I saved $40,815! And I'm still driving on my personal vehicle's original tires. Now that's something to think about."
