Revving Up For The "Drive Less Challenge"

RVTD buses are free on Tuesdays 9/19 and 9/26.

What are you doing next week?  More important, how will you get to where you're doing it?  This is an important question for the last two weeks of September, the period of the Oregon Drive Less Challenge.

People all over the state are urged to walk, or bike, or take public transportation instead of driving. 

And there are incentives... prizes that can be earned through effective reductions in driving. 

Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD) and the City of Eugene are on board.  Edem Gomez from RVTD and Lindsay Selser from Eugene are our guests. 

Current fares: RVTD - $2; Lane Transit - $1.75.
