Give Your Car The Day Off
Join The Clean Air Campaign and News/Talk WSB

Join The Clean Air Campaign, Clark Howard and AM750 and NOW 95.5FM News/Talk WSB and give your car the day off! Choose at least one day during the week of September 20 - 24 , and find a better way to get to work other than driving alone. Just try it once, and see if it makes sense for you to do it more often. The Clean Air Campaign suggests carpooling, teleworking, vanpooling, taking transit, bicycling or walking to work. Plus, by giving your car a break, you will get a free sandwich from Chick-fil-A!

Take action now by pledging to give your car the day off at least one day during the week of September 20. And remember, choosing a commute alternative this week and throughout the year can make a huge impact on your wallet, while helping reduce traffic and improve air quality in metro Atlanta. Let’s see how many cars we can take off the road!

Just think, if you choose an alternative to driving alone, you could save a ton of money on gas and car expenses and help improve the air we breathe. Consider this:

• Atlanta households spend 17 percent of their income on transportation costs – that’s more than we spend on food and clothing combined!


• When you calculate gas, maintenance and other car expenses, the average metro Atlantan spends around $480 a month driving alone to and from work. Taking advantage of other commute options can significantly reduce these costs.


• Driving less could help you reduce your monthly car insurance payment by up to 15%.


• The Clean Air Campaign rewards commuters with cash and prizes for choosing alternatives like carpooling on the drive to work. Sign up with The Clean Air Campaign and you could earn up to $100 just for getting started.
