Commute Alternatives promotes the use of sustainable transportation modes such as carpooling, vanpooling, riding transit, walking, bicycling, and teleworking. Our mission is to reduce traffic congestion and automobile emissions while optimizing the use of the existing transportation infrastructure in the Monterey Bay region. If you would like information regarding commute alternatives in San Benito County, click here. For Santa Cruz, click here.
Commute Alternatives is a program of AMBAG, assisting individuals who live or work in Monterey County and are seeking a sustainable alternative transportation method. Additionally, we help organizations develop and implement alternative commute programs for their employees and establish successful incentive programs that encourage the use of sustainable transportation modes. The best thing about Commute Alternatives is that our services are absolutely FREE.
Carpool
Carpooling is a sure way to reduce the stress and hassle of commuting to work. For those interested in seeking a carpool arrangement, we can provide you with an online list of people with similar commutes who are also interested in ridesharing.
Vanpool
Vanpooling is another easy and cost effective option for commuters who travel 40 or more round-trip miles per day. We can provide you with an online list of people with similar commutes and information about starting a new vanpool.
Transit
Transit is relaxing and reliable. Onboard the bus you'll have time to read, daydream, or catch up on sleep. Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) provides bus service in Monterey County. See the MST website for schedule and fare information or request a printed bus schedule from Commute Alternatives.
Bike
Bicycling is a way to get to work or to your carpool pick-up point, run errands, or go on family outings. Many people find commutes less than 5 miles to be an ideal distance for bicycling.
Walk
Walking can be an easy and efficient way to get to work and stay fit at the same time. Of all the ways to get to work, there's a convenient and reliable form of transportation that is often overlooked: your own two feet. Walking can be a great commute choice for short distances, or as part of a longer commute. And whether you walk to work once a week or every day, it's a relaxing, easy, and inexpensive choice.
Telework
Teleworking involves working part- or full-time from a location other than your normal worksite, whether it is from your home or a satellite telework center close to home. Click here to request information about teleworking or how to involve your employer with a telework program. |

Energy Efficient Travel
Amtrak welcomed aboard more than 25.4 million passengers during Fiscal Year 2005, representing the third straight year of record ridership growth. During FY05, Amtrak used fewer gallons of diesel fuel than in FY04, thanks to improved operating practices and conservation measures.
Despite carrying more passengers on more trains, Amtrak reduced its diesel fuel use by about 3.2 million gallons or 5% in FY 2005. This was achieved by reducing the number of locomotives and by instituting national fuel conservation practices. Total diesel fuel use was 66.6 million gallons in FY 2005.
Through conservation, Amtrak is using 10% less diesel fuel, but the cost has increased by $43 million in two years.
Amtrak Fuel Facts
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has reported that Amtrak - on an energy consumed per passenger-mile basis - is 18 percent more energy efficient than commercial airlines. According to DOE's Transportation Energy Data Book, Amtrak energy intensity was 2,935 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per passenger-mile and commercial airlines were 3,587. Commuter rail was 2,751 and automobiles were 3,549 BTUs. The DOE figures are from calendar year 2003, the latest available.
Amtrak is less vulnerable to swings in crude oil prices than commercial aviation. The Air Transport Association reports fuel costs are about a quarter of the cost of an airline flight, while energy use (electricity purchased for propulsion on the Northeast Corridor and diesel fuel used nationwide) is less than six percent of the Amtrak FY 2005 operating cost.
Unlike commercial aviation, which mostly uses highly refined jet fuel, Amtrak uses diesel fuel produced at a higher volume per barrel of crude oil.
Current Initiatives
Amtrak has recently revised an operating policy to reduce the amount of time that a powered locomotive sits idling and is installing a new automatic shut-off system in its diesel locomotive fleet.
Increased use of dynamic braking, which involves the electric traction motors in locomotives, provides resistance to the rotating wheel axle. This method of slowing trains is more fuel efficient than braking with power applied.
The introduction of Acela Express high speed trainsets and other new and remanufactured electric locomotives has enabled Amtrak to reduce energy consumption by eight percent through the use of a regenerative braking system. This braking system returns electric energy overhead to the catenary power system and replaces some of the electrical energy consumed.
Amtrak recently introduced 80 new vehicle carriers for the Auto Train. These are substantially lighter than the ones they replaced and have helped reduce annual diesel fuel usage by about 640,000 gallons - while carrying more vehicles.
With a state grant from the California South Coast Air Quality Management District, Amtrak is retrofitting a switch engine with RailPower Company's hybrid "Green Goat" technology. The hybrid locomotive will be used in the Los Angeles Yard and will reduce fuel consumption by 75 percent and emissions by 80 percent.
Amtrak will substitute electric locomotives for diesel locomotives on the Keystone Corridor between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa., improving fuel efficiency and schedules - while reducing emissions.

Get Into An Enterprise Car And Go.
There's so much to see and do in Monterey, you'll probably need to rent a car. How about a Convertible? Trailblazer? Or even an Impala? Give Enterprise a call and we'll be happy to pick you up, and put you in any one of them at a very special Monterey County rate - because you're a very special Monterey County guest. When you call, ask for the Monterey County Visitors Guide discount, or visit us online.
Enterprise is an extended family of more than 65,000; a world-class company with homegrown roots. Through tremendous leadership and the entrepreneurial spirit of our employees, we've built the largest rental car company in North America — customer by customer, car by car from the ground up. But our goal has never been to be the biggest; we simply work hard to be the best.
Throughout the last 50 years, Enterprise has rocketed from the basement of a single car dealership to the top of our industry. We believe that we owe our enduring success to the strong values set forth by our founder, Jack Taylor, and his original team: treating employees and customers like family and never compromising our commitment to superior customer service.
Today those values are translated into action by each and every employee through a vehicle that we call our Cultural Compass. Using the Compass, our employees work to engage the neighborhoods in which we operate, improve diversity through our ranks, and contribute hours and dollars to the causes that matter the most.
After all, we are not entitled to our success. We have to earn it, each and every day. |
