Abstract
On an average business day 27,000 commuters drive into Portland, while the city has only 17,000 legal parking spots. Vehicle exhaust from those commuters accounts for 3 tons of air pollution daily. Around 2,000 commuters signed up for Portland's first-ever "Commute Another Way Day," held on August 29. A recent study indicates that using alternative transportation can save the average commuter $5 daily in gas, tolls, repairs and parking costs.
