-Promoting economic development and improving quality of life

• Public transit improves access to jobs, social opportunities within the region and community organizations. Public transit is often considered an amenity by both individuals and companies looking to relocate. 

-Savings

• On both gas and car maintenance. If you have a car that is just used for work, you can save 20% on maintenance fees and extend the life of your car, while saving hundreds of dollars in gas.

-Lower emissions

• A lot of people talk about helping the environment, this is a way that people can actually do something constructive. By leaving their car at home just one day a week they can lower their emissions by almost 2,000 pounds per year.

-Reduce the dependence on foreign oil

• If everyone rode the bus just one day a week, the country's dependency on foreign oil would see a substantial reduction.

-Use the time constructively

• Rather than being stressed, or stuck behind the wheel, people can use the time reading a book, listening to their iPod, planning their day, or conversing with other commuters that are also leaving their cars at home.
