Today is Clean Commute Day!
Once a year, the Clean Commute Options Program hosts Clean Commute Day to bring awareness and education to the community members on the benefit of clean commuting.
Clean commuting is using different modes of transportation that help improve air quality. Different types of clean commuting include walking, biking, riding a bus and carpooling.
Anyone can take part in the day by taking the pledge to clean commuting online.
This year, Lansing residents have a chance of winning over 11 different prizes.
They include gifts cards, massages and even tickets to a Lugnuts game.
Residents are automatically entered into the raffle once they register for Clean Commute Day.
The Clean Commute Options Program also says there are other benefits to clean commuting; like when you take part in clean commuting, you can save money, have a less stressful commute, improve personal health and have more time for other things in your life.
Last year, participating cities saved over 22,000 pounds of carbon monoxide on Clean Commute Day.
