Want to save money, reduce your time in traffic, improve air quality and get the chance to win a $50 gift certificate? This October is the time to give your car the day off and try a different way to get around.

Pick any week in October to try an alternative to driving alone for any of your daily trips. Share the ride (carpool), take transit, telecommute, bike or walk. If you can make a change for any trip (errands, work or elsewhere) three days in a week, you could win a $50 gift certificate to a local bicycle shop, a local restaurant or for transit passes..

If you aren’t sure where to start, visit www.sacregion511.org for tips and tools for ridesharing, transit and bicycling. That’s also where you’ll find the participation form to enter for the $50 gift certificate.
 

The Low-Car Challenge is supported by Sacramento Region 511, a service of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments. For more information, visit www.sacregion511.org or call 511.
