KrisAnn W 10/09/2018 11:41 AMI have to plan a little bit longer about some of the logistics when I'm using mass transit. I have to be aware of what's going on outside to make sure my outwear is on fleek. I have to leave the house earlier in order to have enough time to walk to the bus stop. And I can't forget my headphones or a book for the trip into work. -

Dianne Riley 10/12/2018 3:44 PMDudes. I can't function without a lot of showers. I'm serious. For one thing I will stink to high heaven. And that's not good for any environment. But I do like Teri's suggestion about including a friend. I think that's a child of the 70s kinda suggestion. I use to have a button that actually said that. -
Teri Poppino 10/11/2018 4:13 PMOr, shower with a friend! Ha.

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Improve a Bus StopHow can you advocate for transportation systems which minimize environmental impact while also meeting human needs?
KrisAnn W 10/09/2018 9:49 AMI tell people how it cuts down on my stress level by not having to navigate freeway driving during a rainstorm.-
Teri Poppino 10/22/2018 11:04 AMDo you remember the Greyhound Bus jingle? (I always remember things, if they're put to music...) "Go Greyhound, and leave the driving to us!" Yours is a perfect example, now if the MAX would only deliver me to our office door!
