Finding ways to save time, money, and energy is appealing to many who commute to and from the workplace every day.

The Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) offers a website to promote transporta­tion alternatives for commuters. At www.commuterchoice.com, the ACT details financial and other benefits of options such as carpooling, vanpooling, public transportation, and walking.

Information on local resources in 17 major cities across the U.S. is also available.
