Bicycles

Your first wheels. The freedom, the fresh air, the cards in the spokes going thwak, thwak, thwak. Ride your bike again. It's something you never forget how to do, so why not try it again? Instead of driving, get out your bike and go for a ride. Bike riding is a great way to get exercise and help reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Contact Orange County Transportation Authority at (714) 560-5599 for information on bike routes in Orange County.

Carpool/Vanpool

Want to save money, wear and tear on your personal vehicle, and eliminate the frustration of a stressful commute? Join a carpool/vanpool! Ride to work with folks who live in or around your neighborhood and who have a similar work schedule. Catch up on some extra reading time or visit with another passenger. You'll also enjoy the benefits of saving time on the freeway, as well as money that would have been poured into your gas tank or spent servicing your own car. Contact Orange County Transportation Authority at (714) 560-5599 for more information.

Commuter Rail

You would have more time on your hands if they weren't on the wheel. Take the train. You could save money, the air and a little time for yourself. Instead of fighting traffic, you have time to sit back, relax, read or even just daydream. Plus, you could save money and help to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Contact Amtrak at (800) USA-RAIL or AMTRAK.com; or Metrolink at (800) 371-5465 or Metrolink.com for more information.

Public Transportation

Remember how you used to daydream on your way to school? You can do it again. Take the bus and you'll have a little extra time to yourself. When you drive, you have to concentrate on the road, the traffic, the real world. But when you ride the bus, you can escape into a world all your own. Far from stress and pressure. Plus, you can save money and help to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Contact Orange County Transportation Authority at (714) 636-7433, ext. 1, or 1-800-636-7433, ext. 1 for more information.
