Spare the Air, Bay Area During the Bay Bridge closure, commuters are encouraged to carpool or take public transportation such as BART, ferries or regional bus services. Taking single occupancy cars off the road will reduce traffic, commute times and air pollution, helping all of us breathe easier. Go to 511.org to plan your alternative commute.

Biking to work in the morning is OK, but pollution levels increase during the day, and biking home in the evening can be really hard on your lungs.

Absolutely people should do this!! I just moved down to the area from Oregon and I can't believe how few people ride bikes and walk to get around, here...and the weather is great. We need bike paths, bike/ pedestrian friendly streets, vanpools, etc down here like we have up north in OR.
