Still wondering how to rideshare? Just don’t drive alone! Instead, you can ride the bus, take the train, walk to work, start a carpool, or join a vanpool. It is important for us to consider all of our commute options because the air quality in Southern California is cleaner than it once was — but still among the dirtiest in the nation.

In fact, 27 percent of greenhouse gases that cause climate change are produced by the transportation sector, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In Los Angeles County, one of the problems contributing to pollution is that 72.4 percent of commuters drive alone to work.

So it’s simple: grab a friend and share the ride. Friends don’t let friends drive alone!
