Drive Less!

Shave some of the carbon footprint off your daily commute with the help of Harvard’s CommuterChoice Program (Cambridge) and MASCO’s CommuteWorks Program (Longwood Campus). Walking, biking or taking public transportation has never been easier. It is also safer, often faster, cheaper and less stressful and to top it all off, it helps keep our environment clean.

Setting the Record Straight

Many people think that alternative transportation is a big hassle. Not any more.

Harvard’s Commuter Choice Program offers many resources & programs for commuting in an eco-friendly way!

• 50% pre-tax subsidy for the MBTA public transit system passes. This includes MBTA buses, subways, commuter rail lines and boats.
• 50% discount on parking if part of a 2-person carpool.
• 75% discount on parking if part of a 3-person carpool.
• NEW real-time shuttle location website.
• Departmental Bike Program: discounts on bikes and assistance with getting started.

Your Actions Add Up!

If every Harvard affiliate drove 1 less miles per day, we would save approximately 550,000 gallons of gasoline per year, which would save:

• $1,470,000 @ $2.67/gallon
• Over 10.5 MILLION pounds of CO2

That's like taking 930 cars off the road!
