Bus
Why burst a vein sitting in traffic when you could be reading a book, getting work done, catching some
shut-eye or even contemplating world domination en route to your destination? That’s the beauty of a
bus. Not to mention reducing congestion, pollution and your blood pressure. Here are some links to the
wonderful world of the Boulder bus system.
Bike
If there’s one thing Boulder surely has, it’s an expansive network of biking and walking trails. In addition
to the obvious advantages of no traffic and no emissions, the best part about biking and walking is that you
get your daily exercise in and get where you want to go in one fell swoop. Talk about efficiency. Click on
any of these links to learn more about biking in Boulder.
Carpooling
Carpooling doesn’t end after grade school. In fact, carpooling is actually more rewarding as an adult, when
you’re able to drive yet opt not to drive for environmental reasons. But the coolest thing about carpooling
is, it’s like a daily road trip. With friends. To work (or anywhere else)! Plus, you get to drive fast in the
HOV lane and laugh at all the single drivers stuck in traffic. Check out these links to get a carpool started,
or to join one already in progress and meet new friends.

paidand reduce pollution and congestion in just your underwear, and your co-workers are none the
wiser. To find out how you can telecommute, take a gander at these links.
