The 2010 Walk & Ride Challenge

Walking & Transit

Walking and transit is an ideal combination. You might not live close enough to your job to walk to work. So, ride Metrorail and walk from the Metro station to your workplace. This combines convenience and speed with healthy, low-impact exercise. Walking is free and thanks to Maryland Commuter Tax program, riding Metro can be nearly free too!

Combining walking and transit is very eco-friendly too! You can "Go Green on Metro," because Metro is adopting bus hybrid, CNG and clean diesel technologies. In addition, Montgomery County Ride On has been replacing its diesel buses with clean-burning fuels.

Never used transit? It's easy! Just contact Allison Kemp at akemp@bethesda.org or 301-656-0868 or go to www.MetroOpensDoors.com - use the Trip Planner feature to get directions.


Walk Smart, Walk Safe

Be Alert - Pay attention. Look, listen and watch all traffic and pedestrian signals.

Be Smart - Always use sidewalks and crosswalks. Make eye contact with drivers to make sure they see you before stepping off the curb.

Be Safe - Never insist on the right of way. Be conspicuous, be courteous, and be careful.
