Welcome to Drive Less, Live More 2008 campaign under way In just two months, Drive Less, Live More participants have left their car keys at home and used other ways to travel a total of more than 26,000 miles. That's huge! They've walked, biked, used the bus or carpooled with a friend. In the process, they've improved their health, our region's air quality and their budget's bottom line (especially with gas near $4 a gallon). With warmer temperatures, now is the perfect time to register for the One Less Trip contest and try other forms of transportation. You can win monthly prizes for leaving your car keys behind. And you could win the grand prize at the end of summer – a two-night stay at Mission Point Resort on Mackinaw Island, MI.
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, iking 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.
