Tip of the Week

Check Your Traffic

Crawling traffic can contribute eight times as much air pollution as traffic moving at regular highway speeds. Before you get in your car for your morning commute, check out your local news website for traffic information or see detailed real-time traffic maps for your area through the following sites:

• Yahoo (44 major cities) traffic.yahoo.com/traffic
• Caltrans Realtime Freeway Speed Map (California metro areas) dot.ca.gov/traffic/
• Google Maps (on your mobile web browser) google.com/gmm

If you don't see your city listed in the above, check your state's department of transportation web site.
