ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

For every 100 drive-alone commuters that a business employs, the business generates approximately 150 vehicle trips in and out of the workplace every work day. Employees who drive to work congest roads and pollute the air in the community surrounding the work place.

• If the employees drive 20 miles round trip on average, the 100 employees who drive will produce 236 tons of air pollution in a year.
• If the 100 drivers switched to bus pooling, they would produce only 184 tons of pollution in the year, saving 52 tons of pollutants from entering our atmosphere.

Low-occupancy auto usage is a major reason that our non-renewable energy supply is rapidly depleting.

Three-quarters of Americans drive to work each workday. Those who use the various forms of public transportation save 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline per year. If we reduced the number of automobile commuters to half, we could save nearly 3 billions gallons of gasoline per year – 8 million gallons per day. That is the equivalent of 68 oil supertankers shipments that we could forego each year.

SAFE COMMUTING

Automobile crashes are a leading cause of death for Americans. Driving less is the best way to avoid being injured or killed in an auto accident. Due to the low use of automobiles by people who live in New York City, we have one-fifth the rate of auto fatalities compared to the rest of the United States.

Let Ken-Doo take you to work and return you to your home safely and with a reduced impact on our environment.
