Welcome to Drive Less, Live More
Thanks for another great summer! We at Drive Less, Live More would like to think we planned a rockin' summer of events and activities. And the results would support that. But we know that the real success of Drive Less, Live More has more to do with you than us.
So here's to you because you made the Drive Less Live More campaign a success! You chose to ride your bike, use your feet, ride with a friend, or take the bus instead of driving your car.
More than 150 of you participated in the two River Rides - some of you riding in the downpours. (Will that event ever see a sunny day?) More than 300 of you rode your bikes on Bike To Work Day. More than 350 of you took the time to participate in the Miami Valley Cycling Summit. More than 110 of you participated in the One Less Trip contest, using alternative transportation for nearly 3,000 trips and saving more than 46,000 miles.
Drive Less, Live More was all about you - and you didn't let us down. Thanks for a great summer! 2009 One Less Trip winners Here's to all of our One Less Trip winners.
What is Drive Less, Live More? Drive Less Live More is your connection to healthier, cleaner, more affordable transportation choices within the greater Dayton region. As Americans we love our cars. We think nothing of driving less than a mile to the bank, the store or even from one parking lot to another at a shopping center. As our waistlines – and our dependence on foreign oil – increase, the quality of our life and air decrease. But it’s not as if we are trying to pollute our environment or be less active, it’s just become second nature to grab the keys and go. But there’s a better way. Residents of the Greater Dayton Region have a variety of alternative travel options – walking, biking on paved recreation trails, riding regional transit, or carpooling. The Miami Conservancy District, Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission, Greater Dayton RTA and Five Rivers MetroParks have teamed up to bring you the Drive Less Live More campaign where you can save money (see how much money it really costs to drive your car with compute your commute), get fit, win prizes and improve the air you breathe.
