GET ON THE BUS
SAVE $400
Instead of driving them yourself, have your kids take the bus to school. If you’re not making use of your school’s bus program, investigate it and sign up. Or, if you live along a municipal bus route, ride the bus to school with your kids. Save up to $400 on gas costs if you live 3 miles from school and make two round trips from home every day of the school year. You can conserve nearly 100 gallons of gas or more. Additionally you can save time driving to school and back—up to 180 hours or more per year. Teach your kids the importance of developing habits that are good for saving money and for the environment. And develop friendships with other folks who ride the bus! Make your kids really feel a part of their community.
