Preparing for Colder Weather: Embrace the Season with Smart Commuting Solutions

Posted on by Meg MacKay

As the leaves begin to change and the crisp air of fall settles in, it’s time to prepare not only for the cooler weather but also for a more sustainable commuting routine. With autumn upon us, many of us will be swapping our flip-flops for boots and our short sleeves for cozy sweaters. But as we transition into this new season, let’s also consider how we can reduce our carbon footprint and make our daily commutes more efficient.

Get Ready for Fall Commuting

Dress in Layers: As the weather fluctuates between warm afternoons and chilly mornings, dressing in layers can make your commute more comfortable. This will help you adapt to changing temperatures, whether you’re walking to a carpool meeting point or waiting for public transport.  For tips on layering basics, check out REI’s site here.

Prepare Your Vehicle: If you drive to work, it’s essential to check your vehicle as the temperatures drop. Make sure your antifreeze is at the right level, your tires are properly inflated, and your windshield wipers are in good condition. The AAA vehicle maintenance checklist can help you ensure your car is ready for fall.

Embrace Carpooling: As temperatures fall, it is a great time to consider carpooling to work with a coworker or friend. Not only does carpooling help you save on gas and reduce wear and tear on your vehicle, but it also significantly lowers your carbon footprint. By sharing rides, you’re contributing to less traffic congestion and improved air quality.
