Taking transit more often--even once a week--is one of the easiest and most effective ways each of us can reduce our carbon footprint. And with any alternative mode--transit, bicycling, walking--the personal health benefits can be significant. 

Now that we have your attention, check out the three easy ways to plan your next trip on AC Transit!

AC Transit has teamed up with fellow transit agencies VTA, SamTrans, and Muni to bring a joint "take transit" message to Bay Area residents this spring. The "Healthier Planet, Healthier You" radio, television, and print campaign is timed to build on the heightened environmental awareness around Earth Day in April and Bike to Work Day in May.
