??Santa is almost coming to town, but so is snow and icy roads. But that doesn't mean that you can’t get from point A to point B safely! Carpooling is an amazing, safer, and more sustainable way of travel instead of driving in your own car. It minimizes the traffic on the road, making commuting easier and safer for everyone during the winter seasons.
If carpooling isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy a nice bike ride as a way of commuting during the winter time:
- Be cautious – don’t pedal too fast
- Be visible – Keep your bike light on
- Be sure to stay warm – a winter jacket, mittens, tuques, you name it!
The Smart Commute Tool offers other ways to travel in our community that can keep you warm and safe during the chilly seasons.
Don’t let the cold stop us from becoming more sustainable!
