Walk and bike

Walking and biking are some of the easiest ways to cut down on drive-alone trips, especially for short errands and trips around town.

If you live on the North Coast, consider local errands you can run without a car. You’ll improve your health, save on gas, and help improve local air quality.

Visiting the North Coast?
Relax into your vacation by parking once and enjoying our community on foot or by two wheels.
