💚 World Mental Health Day is Oct 10

Well-being is influenced by many things, including how we get to work. Traffic, long commutes & congestion can add stress. Finding a commute that works better may create more room to breathe.

When was the last time you really disconnected?
Not just closed your laptop but stepped away from the constant stream of information? Taking a break from technology can help reduce stress, improve focus & create a little more breathing room.

Did you try going car-free yesterday?

Maybe you biked, took transit, shared a ride or worked remotely. Whatever you did, you changed your routine.

World Car-Free Day may be one day—but a better commute can be an everyday choice.

Happy World Car-Free Day!

Today is your chance to leave the car at home for one trip—or go car-free for the day.

Walk. Bike. Take transit. Carpool. Telework.

The goal is simply to think differently about how we get where we're going.

Next Tuesday is World Car-Free Day — a chance to rethink how we get around and discover alternatives to driving alone.

Start planning now:

Can you bike or walk?

Take transit?

Can you telework?

You don't have to give up your car.
Just give one trip a different route.

[Commuter Services @CommuterService]

We’ll be out and about at several events in September...
Tomorrow be sure to stop by the Edina Farmers Market at Centennial Lakes Park, or come see us Sunday, Sept. 20, at Penn Fest in Richfield.

You can take our monthly commute pledge, pick up resources, or just say hello!

[Commuter Services @CommuterService]

Could you skip the car for just ONE trip?

Walk to lunch
Bike to an appointment
Take the bus to work
Carpool with a coworker
Work from home

You don't have to change every trip. Start with one.
When you do, you'll be entered to win a $150 gift card!

Travel smart this Labor Day 🚗 🚲 🚌

And as you head back to work after the holiday, consider trying a different way to commute. Walk, bike, ride transit, carpool or share the ride when you can.
A small change can make a big difference.

Happy Labor Day from Commuter Services!
