From minimizing your carbon footprint and helping the environment to assistance for those without reliable transportation to recreational adventures, the benefits of public transportation are limitless. Here are a few of our favorite benefits of riding public transit.

  • Ride Assist from Cascades East Transit provides many benefits for riders. Dial-A-Ride provides service to low-income seniors and persons with disabilities. Public transit provides rides for residents who may not otherwise have them.
  • By taking public transportation, carbon dioxide is saved from going into the air, which reduces emissions and makes for a cleaner world. Public transportation is environmentally friendly.

  1. I really like how you mentioned traveling with public transportation not only saves fuel for you but for everyone else. Everyone on that tram or bus is saving the environment! I think this also saves a lot of people time having to park as well! My brother just moved to a big city and has been wondering if it would be more worth it to ride public transportation. I will be sure to share this with him. Thanks for sharing!
