Now members of the York community at both the Keele and Glendon campuses have more transportation choices available. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>The new SC-BC carpool Web site offers registered users the ability to find a carpool or register to start a carpool in an online database. Carpool matches can be arranged according to preference, schedule and destination.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Ongoing research by the&nbsp;Canadian Automobile Association indicates&nbsp;the average yearly cost to operate a car can be as much as $9,000, or nearly $25 per day. By sharing the ride to work with a neighbour or co-worker, you&nbsp;can significantly reduce&nbsp;fuel costs, parking fees and vehicle maintenance. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>Visit the SC-BC Web site&nbsp;and click on the links to register. The more people who sign up, the more carpool matches can be made!<\/P><br \/>\n<P><STRONG>More tips for saving money on gas:<\/STRONG><\/P><br \/>\n<UL><br \/>\n<LI>Join a York&nbsp;BUG (Bike User Group).<br \/>\n<LI>Try taking public transit to work; even one day a week is 20% savings.<br \/>\n<LI>Avoid sitting in traffic. Ask about flextime or staggered work hours.<br \/>\n<LI>Turn off your engine when stopped for longer than 10 seconds.<br \/>\n<LI>Keep your car tuned up. Cars in poor running condition use more gasoline.<\/LI><\/UL><br \/>\n<P>For more information on&nbsp;carpools,&nbsp;BUG, transit routes or transportation services at York, contact one of the&nbsp;transportation&nbsp;partners:<\/P><br \/>\n<UL><br \/>\n<LI>York's <A href=\"http:\/\/www.csbo.yorku.ca\/Transportation\/\" name=\"http:\/\/www.sport.yorku.ca\/interuniversity_sport\/teams\/rugby_w\/index.asp\"><FONT color=\"#3333ff\">Security, Parking and Transportation Services<\/FONT><\/A> at ext. 22541 or <A href=\"mailto:transit@yorku.ca\"><FONT color=\"#3333ff\">transit@yorku.ca<\/FONT><\/A>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<LI><A href=\"http:\/\/www.sc-bc.ca\" name=\"Smart Commute-Black Creek\"><FONT color=\"#3333ff\">Smart Commute-Black Creek<\/FONT><\/A> at ext. 70690 or <A href=\"mailto:info@sc-bc.ca\"><FONT color=\"#3333ff\">info@sc-bc.ca<\/FONT><\/A><\/LI><\/UL><br \/>\n<P>Smart Commute-Black Creek, formed in 2001, is a not-for-profit organization made up of members and partners, including local employers, government bodies, transit agencies, property managers, and other business and community groups.
