What is eco-driving anyways? A new approach to transportation, making choices to reduce the amount of fuel used when transporting yourself from point A to point B.
You don’t need to get rid of your car, or purchase one that doesn’t suit your lifestyle. Instead practice driving habits that use less fuel: choose alternatives to driving whenever possible and practical (walking, cycling, biking, taking public transit, carpooling, car-sharing); choose more fuel efficient gas-powered vehicles or alternative-power vehicles. Eco-Driving is preserving your personal mobility in a fuel-efficient and safe manner, something you can do in your own way. Further tips and information on eco-driving is online at www.caa.ca/eco-mobility
