We are all well aware of the increasing gas prices (27 consecutive days of increased pricing). After starting my hour long commute with
a stop at the gas station only to rush into traffic with everyone else that is
making the journey to downtown Tampa. I begin to look at all of the
vehicles around me and 99% of us are all driving solo. I have been making this
commute for over a year, and I recognize many of the same vehicles and their
bumper stickers.
I have looked into commuting options before, and found
one option that seemed more like a journey than a commute to work, it consisted
of me riding my bicycle to the bus stop and then taking two different buses to
finally end up ½ a mile from my office 2 hours later. A total of 4 hours a day
commuting was not feasible option for me.
However during my commute today I remembered a Climate Action Plan recommendation that EcoAsset’s made to a municipality to increase participation in their existing rideshare program that had a very low participation rate. The rideshare
program is a way to connect you with others that live and work close to you and have the
same work schedule, which would be an ideal carpool situation. Rideshare is a great way to reduce the number of vehicles on the road and greenhouse gas emissions.
