Let's be up front about it--a lot of people can't imagine being without their vehicles, even if it is a second or third vehicle.

It can take a lot to change habits, to become AutoFit instead of AutoObese.

Included with your BEST Mode Shift membership are our transportation planning services. We sit down with you and your family and look at where you go, when you go, and how you get there. We help you see exactly see exactly what the options are and show you how easy it is to get on with fewer vehicles.

We have an online tracking tool available to members that let's you enter your vehicle data, trip destinations and so on and then calculates your GhG emissions and track your changes over time.

Did you know that close to half of the trips made in the course of people's daily lives are for short distances that could easily be walked or bicycled?

Did you know that traveling one kilometer is a three to four minute bike ride or a 12 minute walk? Or that for trips of five kilometers and less, bicycle generally proves to be the fastest door-to-door transportation mode?

Becoming less car dependent increases your options, can save time, and be much more pleasant.

Because we're advocating "the BEST Car Diet" no a "car fast," we recognize that sometimes using a vehicle is the most logical choice. For that reason another option available to BEST Mode Shift Members is car sharing through the Car-Co-op or Zip Car.
