Ditching your car in favor of the bus, train, or other form of mass transit can be a pretty daunting task, taken singularly, so here's what we recommend: start slowly. Make a plan to hop on the bus or take a train ride one day per week; you'll save the headache of traffic gridlock, save the money it costs to park, while adding up a significant contribution to a greener planet. Consider this: we could decrease our reliance on foreign oil by 40 percent if one in 10 Americans used public transportation each day.

Be a part of a good statistic, make the change just once a week, and stay tuned for more transportation-related tips.
