OCTOBER: Rideshare Week

Though Rideshare Week is recognizable in California, that does not mean other states can not commemorate this occasion too! Rideshare Week encourages the use of smart transportation, whether it is carpooling to work, a group of friend's riding their bikes to school, or simply taking a stroll to the park rather than driving there.



The Rideshare.com Impact Page has plenty of facts and data about commuting in California as well as additional information to:
- Commuting Facts
- Global Warming
- Fossil Fuel Consumption
- Environmental Impact of Human Activities
- Caring for Our Environment

Perhaps your students can discover their neighborhood's "walkscore" and discuss ways to improve the score or the things your students can do in their community to make proper use of the transportation around them.
