Tips offered for clearing the air

Every day, we drive about 70 million miles and burn 3 million gallons of gasoline in the Puget Sound region. Pretty staggering numbers — so staggering that the UW Transportation Office wants to give you some tips on how you can clear the air this winter. Check them out at http://www.fhidc.com/italladdsup/upass.html


And don’t forget, the office adds, you can share the ride. Use your U-PASS (http://www.washington.edu/upass/) and commute by bus, train, carpool or vanpool. Or make room in your schedule for a non-polluting mode: walk, bike or work from home.
