You can help Allen County/Fort Wayne have cleaner air!

1. When you Drive – Avoid non-essential trips.
Drive during off peak hours. Avoid idling at drive-through windows or when picking up passengers. Fill your fuel tank carefully and after sundown to minimize vapors. Minimize cold starts by combining trips. Service your car regularly and keep tires properly inflated. Explore the possibility of alternative fuels (ethanol, bio diesel, hybrids).

2. Alternatives to Driving – Ride the Bus.
For shorter trips consider riding your bicycle or walking. Other options include: carpooling, vanpooling, working at home, electronic messaging, teleconferencing, etc.
