About Drive less. Save more.
Today's roads are becoming more congested. Faced with limitations to expanding our transportation infrastructure, the Oregon Department of Transportation [ODOT], Metro, TriMet, City of Vancouver and other public and private partners launched the Drive Less/Save More Campaign in February 2006. This unique effort seeks to reduce single-person car trips as part of a larger solution to regional traffic congestion.
So, what are single person car trips? Single-person car trips are those trips that we make alone. They make up more than 67 percent of the trips we take and are non-work related. Reducing these types of trips can lead to better traffic flow.
It is estimated that if each area household eliminated just two car trips per week, there could be a four percent reduction in the number of cars on the road.
The Drive Less/Save More Campaign seeks to reduce single-person car trips by promoting travel options like public transit, car pooling, biking and walking and encouraging drivers to trip chain or combine multiple errands into single trips. These travel savvy practices are practical and can save you money otherwise spent at the gas pump.
The many sponsors and partners of the Drive Less/Save More Campaign include AAA, CH2M Hill, Hudson News PDX, Polar Graphics and Qwest. Click here for a full list.
