Cars and trucks are a popular way to get around. The problem is that they use a lot of fuel, which is an important resource. Plus, our cars release chemicals which pollute the air that we breathe. Yuck! But it's easy to find an alternative, especially in Denver. Like riding your bike!

The EPA Building makes it easy for employees to take public transportation.

• Underground parking spaces for 70 bicycles or scooters
• Showers for bicycle commuters so they can freshen up after their ride
• Hybrid, alternative fuel vehicles and soon, electric vehicles are used by our field employees
• EcoPass, a pass allowing EPA employees to use the bus and lightrail
• EPA encourages using “van pools” and ride sharing when possible

So it's not surprising that 2 out of 3 employees use alternative transportation to get to work!
